Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explains why Edinson Cavani missed Manchester United’s derby clash against Man City
Edinson Cavani was ruled out of Manchester United’s derby clash against Manchester City after suffering an injury during Saturday’s training session, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said.
Solskjaer made four changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace during the week, with Anthony Martial, Daniel James, Victor Lindelof and Scott McTominay coming in to the Red Devils starting XI.
With David de Gea still absent following the birth of his daughter, Dean Henderson is in goal, and Cavani missed out altogether after pulling up in training.
Manchester United travelled across the city to the Etihad on Sunday in third place in the Premier League, 14 points behind Pep Guardiola’s side, who have won 21 matches in a row.
Solskjaer said: ‘He [Cavani] had to come off training yesterday. He didn’t feel right unfortunately. But Anto [Martial] is ready so that’s good news.’
Guardiola has made three changes to the side that beat Wolves 4-1 on Tuesday night, with John Stones returning defence in place of Aymeric Laporte.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ilkay Gundogan also starts for City in replace of Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva.
