# Pogba in race to be fit for Man United’s clash with Liverpool – a potentially huge blow?

Liverpool will be hoping to win their 18th consecutive Premier League game, and their ninth of this season, when they travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United after the international break.

Their chances of getting such a win may be boosted if Paul Pogba isn’t available for the game, and as it stands, he is not certain to be fit to play.

As reported by [*Sky Sports*](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12040/11830511/paul-pogba-rehabs-foot-injury-in-dubai-as-manchester-united-midfielder-steps-up-recovery), Pogba is currently in Dubai as he continues his rehabilitation from a recent foot injury, and as such, he will not be joining up with the French national team.

Pogba missed United’s 0-0 draw with AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League and their Premier League defeat away to Newcastle on Sunday, and he is keen to be fit to face the European champions.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

While Pogba is undoubtedly a player who divides opinion, he is certainly one of United’s best players and deserves his place in the midfield, when fit.

United have a lot of issues and they will be keen to get the Frenchman back as soon as possible, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fighting for his job.

Liverpool will be confident of beating their rivals with or without Pogba, but the job will be easier if he is missing.
