Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez ruled out for four to six weeks


Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez is likely to be out for four to six weeks with a knee injury, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said.

The 30-year-old's Old Trafford career hit its latest roadblock as he was forced off early in the second half of Saturday's 3-2 Premier League win against Southampton.

Chile physio Pedro Onate said forward Sanchez would be "unavailable to play for between six and eight weeks".

Solskjaer was asked about those comments ahead of the second leg of United's Champions League last-16 clash with Paris St Germain.

"It was a bad knee injury so if it's four weeks or six, hopefully he'll recover quickly," the Norwegian told a press conference.
