Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.

The Red Devils were on course to take all three points home from their trip to the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day, but Leicester City stalwart Jamie Vardy forced a late leveller as the two Champions League hopefuls played out a 2-2 draw.

United missed the chance to go second in the table following that four-goal thriller, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men remain in the top four after Chelsea were put to the sword by Arsenal at the weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's clash with Wolves.


Marcus Rashford

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: December 29 (vs. Wolves)

Marcus Rashford went down with a shoulder problem late on in Boxing Day's draw with Leicester. However, the England international was not forced off and Solskjaer has expressed optimism over his availability for this one.


Victor Lindelof

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Back
Possible return date: December 29 (vs. Wolves)

Victor Lindelof, who has admitted to playing through the pain barrier this season, was hauled off just after the hour mark against Leicester with an ongoing back problem. Solskjaer has confirmed that the Red Devils "might have to do something" following the makeshift right-back's injury, and Lindelof is not expected to be fit for this one.


Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: December 29 (vs. Wolves)

Lindelof filled in at right-back with Aaron Wan-Bissaka sidelined due to a knock. United have not disclosed details about the defender's injury, but Wan-Bissaka is back in training now and could be available for Tuesday's game.


Phil Jones

Long-term absentee Phil Jones, who is expected to seek pastures new next year, will be out of action for a little while longer due to a serious knee problem.

Another out-of-favour defender in Marcos Rojo is struggling with a calf problem which has ruled him out until 2021. The Argentine could be back in time to face Watford in the FA Cup, though.
