Raphael Varane might return from injury in next week’s Premier League match against Liverpool at Anfield.
The France international missed last weekend’s match against Everton due to an undisclosed injury he also missed Saturday’s match against bottom-of-the-table Norwich City.
However, interim head coach Ralf Rangnick of Manchester United has stated that Varane is the closest of the players now on the sidelines to return to action.
“I think probably Raphael Varane. He’s the one who can hopefully come back for at least one of the next two games against Liverpool or Arsenal. With the others, I don’t see them coming back within the next couple of days,” Rangnick told reporters.
Edinson Cavani, Scott McTominay, Fred, and Luke Shaw are also out with injuries, with the latter expected to miss the rest of the campaign.
Varane has suffered from injuries throughout his debut season at Old Trafford, but he has still managed 25 games across all competitions, including 18 in the Premier League.
