Posted March 05, 2019 6:00 am
PARIS (AP) - Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez faces up to six weeks out with a right knee injury.
The 30-year-old Sanchez was forced off during United's 3-2 victory against Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says "it was a bad knee injury so if it's four weeks or six, hopefully he'll recover quickly."
Solskjaer was speaking ahead of the Champions League game at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday when United will be looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit to reach the quarterfinals.
