The reason Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no idea which Man Utd players are available for Fulham clash

Fulham face another tricky test on Wednesday night when they welcome Manchester United to Craven Cottage.

The Whites have faced Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in their last two matches, picking up one point and now face the Premier League leaders.

Fulham remain in the bottom three, but good performances of late have given their supporters hope of escaping the drop.

A home game with United will be another stern test of his team's ability to fend off the drop, but if manager Scott Parker was hoping to get some team news from the Red Devils prior to the clash on Wednesday night he has been sorely disappointed.

The latest team and injury news is high on the agenda for all Premier League bosses during their pre-match press conferences and both Parker and Ole Gunner Solskjaer have been speaking to the media on Tuesday afternoon.

However, Solskjaer has only given out a smidgen of information, not because he is keeping his cards close to his chest, but because he does not know who he will have available.

A number of games have already been postponed due to positive Covid-19 tests this season, including Fulham 's game with Tottenham.

And there is a concern from the Manchester United end when it comes to their players.

Solskjaer explained, as reported by our friends at the Manchester Evening News: "Well, we’ve not got test results from Covid and it’s almost 30 hours ago, so hope we get them soon. Everyone trained this morning. Brandon [Williams] and Phil Jones didn’t train and the rest were on the pitch."

So, as it stands, Solskjaer does not know which players he will have at his disposal.
