The veteran striker was forced off the pitch at half-time during the Red Devils’ commanding victory over Southampton on Tuesday.
Edinson Cavani should be fit to feature for Manchester United in the Premier League match against Everton, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.
Cavani contributed one goal in the Premier League record-equalling 9-0 thumping of Southampton but couldn’t return to the pitch after the break due to an ankle problem.
He has become integral to Solskjaer’s plans ever since his arrival in the summer, making 21 appearances across all competitions.
The Uruguayan has led United’s attack in the last two games, and Solskjaer suggests he could do it again on Saturday.
“Edinson should be available, yeah definitely,” said Solskjaer at his pre-match press conference on Friday. “He got a bad ankle knock there [against Southampton].
“Eric [Bailly] is a doubt but, apart from that, everyone is raring to go.”
Sergio Romero is yet to feature this season. Having fallen down in the pecking order behind David de Gea and Dean Henderson, the Argentine shot-stopper was excluded from Man United’s Premier League squad.
The Norwegian manager added: “Sergio is working hard and training, he’s in the group. He lost a lot of training early on in the season he joined us very late having had some time back home and over Christmas too he’s had some time back in Argentina with family.
“He’s working with the keepers but with Dean and Lee [Grant] and David, it’s been more difficult to get in the match squad.”
