  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Chelsea keen on signing Juventus wonderkid

  • The France international has not featured for the Red Devils since the international break with an ankle problem but he seems to have recovered from the setback ahead of the Cup tie.

    Speaking in a press conference, Solskjaer confirmed that Pogba is available for the midweek game but he may be restricted to a cameo role from the substitutes' bench.

    "He'll probably get some minutes against Rochdale. But we definitely think he's ready for Arsenal," he was quoted as saying on the club's official website ahead of the Rochdale game.

    Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly and Anthony Martial are among the high-profile names on the sidelines but the latter could return from a thigh problem in the lead up to the Gunners clash next week.
