Ole Gunnar Solskjær risks missing Manchester United FC's next two European games after being ruled out for a month following knee surgery.
Lille return
The Norway striker underwent the operation this week after scoring in United's 3-2 FA Cup win at Reading FC on Tuesday. However, as he recovers, he is sure to sit out the second leg of the UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie against LOSC Lille Métropole - which United lead 1-0 - and may also be unavailable for the first instalment of any quarter-final, on 3/4 April. The 34-year-old has registered six Premiership goals this season and one in the UEFA Champions League.
