Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said midfielder Jesse Lingard is likely to miss Sunday's Premier League clash at Newcastle United after suffering a hamstring injury during their goalless Europa League draw at Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.
The 26-year-old came on as a late substitute in Thursday's match but limped off during added time. Though Solskjaer said the issue was not serious, Lingard might back for the game against Liverpool on October 20.
"I think he felt his hamstring a little bit. I don't think it's too bad. He probably won't be fit for Newcastle but he could be ready for Liverpool," Solskjaer was quoted as saying by MUTV.
Solskjaer had earlier expressed concerns about the artificial surface at the Kyocera Stadium in The Hague, saying that it forced him to leave midfielder Paul Pogba from the squad because of an ankle knock.
United have struggled with injuries this season with striker Anthony Martial and defender Phil Jones also missing the trip to the Netherlands, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw are still unavailable.
Marcus Rashford was denied a possible penalty in the 80th minute after he was clipped by a sliding Stijn Wuytens.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Unai Emery lauded forward Gabriel Martinelli after the Brazilian teenager scored twice and set up another in a 4-0 win over Standard Liege.
The 18-year-old struck twice in two minutes in the opening half and set up Dani Ceballos.
"He played in this position with us and in every training he showed us his hunger to be with us," Emery said.
"In pre-season he played in different positions, but above all he preferred playing on the left wing. But also he played as a right winger.
"I used him as a striker because in Brazil he played this position. It's not the best position for him, but the first (thought) in his mind is to help us... his performance and aptitude was amazing."
Martinelli's brace followed a two-goal haul in a 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the League Cup last month and defender Hector Bellerin said the Brazilian has been following Emery's advice.
"Everyone is pleased for him," Bellerin was quoted as saying by BT Sport.
"He has been a player, he keeps his head down, he works really hard, he is doing what the coach wants him to do and it shows on the pitch."
