Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has suffered a different ankle injury to the one that has kept him out for the majority of the season.
Pogba, 26, returned from a 12-week lay-off at Watford on December 22 and completed the entirety of the second-half against Newcastle on Boxing Day, playing 71 minutes across the two fixtures.
Pogba did not travel to Burnley two days later but Solskjaer indicated the Frenchman would be available for the Arsenal game. However, Pogba did not travel to London and could be sidelined for up to a month.
The MEN understands United did scans on Pogba's ankle, confirmed the diagnosis and the midfielder's specialist agreed with the club's medical staff.
"Here we go again," Solskjaer began at his pre-match press conference for the FA Cup third round tie at Wolves. "FA Cup third round and you're talking about Paul again.
"Paul came back after a long spell out, two games, had a reaction, couldn't go to Burnley, felt his ankle was sore, we did a scan.
"And it's not the same injury, it's a different injury. Of course, when you get that scan, we speak to him, you consult your own medical people as well like I did, when I did my operation. You want the best second opinion and the advice was to have it done. It's not a major one and probably, as I said, three or four weeks.
"When I said 'his people'? As in when you consult your surgeon and the ones you trust, that's maybe my bad English. You have people you trust and speak to. As I said, when I did my injuries, loads of knee operations, I had my people in Norway and Sweden I spoke to and Paul has people he trusts, and that's more important.
"So that's more or less it. And the FA Cup is the next talking subject, all right? That's as clear as it can be at this point."
Pogba first suffered the ankle injury in the 1-1 draw with Southampton on August 31 and returned for the League Cup third round draw with Rochdale on September 25. He has not started since the 1-1 draw with Arsenal on September 30.
