Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed an injury blow to Marcus Rashford, ahead of their quest to end Liverpool's Invincibles bid.
Jurgen Klopp's side are enjoying a 38-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, putting them 11 shy of Arsenal's all-time record, and will hopeful of avoiding defeat for the entire season to match another record from the Gunners' Invincibles side.
Having swept aside Tottenham last weekend, all eyes are on the hosting of United this weekend and Arsenal fans will be hoping their old rivals can do them a huge favour.
However, the chances of that happening have taken a significant hit as Rashford suffered an injury during United's 1-0 victory over Wolves in an FA Cup third-round replay on Wednesday evening.
Rashford came off the bench when the score was still goalless but lasted just 16 minutes before being forced off with a back injury, having suffered from similar knocks in recent weeks.
The striker took to Twitter after the match, thanking the fans for their support and his teammates for helping them progress to the next round of the cup.
While there is hope that the England international will be available for the Premier League clash with Liverpool this weekend, Solskjaer stated the decision to introduce him backfired.
"Yeah that backfired, sometimes that happens. He took a knock and he couldn't run. He has struggled with a few knocks in his back lately and there’s another one today," he told BT Sport after the match.
The 22-year-old has been in prolific form for United recently, scoring six goals in his last eight appearances in all competitions prior to the midweek FA Cup clash against Wolves.
