Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed Raphael Varane suffered a hamstring injury in their draw with Atalanta on Tuesday evening.
Varane was substituted in the second-half of the 2-2 draw in Bergamo in midweek and Solskjaer revealed after the game that the France international injured his hamstring.
Speaking to BT Sport after the game, the Man United manager said: “He felt his hamstring. So of course you can’t take any risks, unfortunately. Rafa has been such a calming influence when he is on the pitch. We lost him but that is football.”
According to a recent report from French news outlet L’Equipe, Varane is set to miss between three and four weeks of action through injury.
