Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed Marcus Rashford will be sidelined for at least six weeks after suffering a stress fracture in his back.
Rashford was forced off less than 15 minutes after coming on as a second half substitute in a FA Cup third round replay win over Wolves on Wednesday.
He was absent for United's 2-0 defeat at Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday.
Speaking after the match at Anfield, Solskjaer said the England international is not expected to return to training for six weeks, meaning he might not be back in a United shirt for two months.
"He's suffered a bad injury. Yeah it's a (back) stress fracture, it happened against Wolves. It's not happened before, it happened there and then," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
"He'll be out for a while. He won't be back until after the mid-season break. Normally six weeks to heal, but I'm not a doctor, and then he needs rehab after that probably."
United face either Watford or Tranmere in the FA Cup fourth round, travel to Manchester City for the second leg of their League Cup semifinal – trailing 3-1 from the first leg – and host Wolves in the Premier League in the next two weeks.
Solskjaer's men then have a 16-day period to rest and recuperate thanks to the Premier League's first ever winter break before travelling to Chelsea on February 17. (SuperSport)
