POGBA EURO SWEAT
PAUL POGBA could miss Manchester United’s Champions League showdown with Sevilla.
The French star (left) pulled out of Saturday’s FA Cup win at Huddersfield with a mystery illness.
Boss Jose Mourinho says Marcus Rashford, Antonio Valencia and Ander Herrera will return for Wednesday’s last-16 tie but is in the dark over Pogba. He said: “Can we
recover some of them? I believe so.
“I think Rashford, Herrera and Valencia have a chance. Paul, I don’t know.”
United have refused to reveal details of Pogba’s illness but he trained with the squad yesterday.
Mourinho and his men will fly to Spain tomorrow after holding a training session at the club’s Carrington base.
But there remains a big doubt whether Pogba will be on the plane for the first leg as Mourinho contends with a growing injury list.
Mourinho added: “Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic... I don’t think they have any chance.
“So we arrive at this crucial moment with some problems.
“But you know, I think mentality is very important.
Furious
“We have a strong team with a strong team mentality.
“We know it is a very difficult match but we will go for it.”
United have dismissed reports of a bust-up between Mourinho and stars Pogba and Jones. It has been claimed Mourinho was involved in a furious war of words with the pair following United’s shock defeat at Newcastle last weekend.
Mourinho is said to have blamed the duo for the 1-0 loss and got involved in a huge row with them at St James’ Park.
Pogba was hauled off in the second half to leave him sat on the sidelines with a face like thunder. But United bosses have denied the issue went any further.
