Joy for Solskjaer as 5 Man United stars recover just in time for EPL clash against Watford

- Man United vs Watford will take centre stage on Saturday, March 30, at Old Trafford

- Solskjaer is facing an injury crisis ahead of the encounter

- However, up to five players who were sidelined with injuries have been included in United's provisional squad

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has named five players who were sidelined with injuries in his provisional squad ahead of their Premier League clash against Watford.

Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku, Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matic and Anthony Martial are among the players included in the provisional squad.

The five players withdrew from international duty with their respective countries, making them major doubts for the EPL encounter against the Hornets.

Both Rashford and Jesse Lingard played no part in England's Euro 2020 qualifiers where they faced Czech Republic and Montenegro, with Rashford pulling out with an ankle injury.

On his part, Martial has been nursing a knee injury that has been recurrent, but joined the rest of his team-mates at Lowry Hotel ahead of the weekend tie.

Meanwhile, Solskjaer has since confirmed Alexis Sanchez, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia will be unavailable for selection against Watford.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
