Pogba and Bailly absent for West Ham clash, Diallo set to make debut

Manchester United will be without Paul Pogba for the foreseeable future, but Eric Bailly could return as he is edging back to fitness.

could be handed his

Manchester United

debut after

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

included the teenager in the squad for the FA Cup fifth-round match against

West Ham

on Tuesday.

Manchester United in-form midfielder Paul Pogba is set to be sidelined for a few weeks after picking up an injury in the game against Everton.

Eric Bailly

could make his return after being away for five matches but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will not rush the 26-year-old center-half.

“Yeah, he's getting better,”

Solskjaer has told United’s official website on Bailly.

“He's still not available for the cup game, we think. He's been out on the grass and training, but we're just going to make a decision. I don't think he'll be involved.”

The Norwegian has said on Pogba

: “Well, it was an injury. It'll take a few weeks for it to heal, so he's just started his recovery, working with the medical staff and we'll get him back as soon as we can, as safely as we can, because of course Paul's been very important for us. We're not going to take any risks, but a few weeks definitely.”

Solskjaer went on to say in a general fitness update

: “There are so many games! But, yeah, everyone's available; everyone's trained, apart from Phil [Jones], obviously.”

Amad Diallo, who was pictured with the Manchester United squad at their team hotel, will be hoping to make his debut in Tuesday's fifth-round tie at Old Trafford.
