Jose Mourinho: Paul Pogba will be missed

Jose Mourinho gave an update of the state his squad when he spoke to
the media on Friday ahead of Manchester United's game against Everton
on Sunday.

France international midfielder Paul Pogba limped off against Basel in
the Champions League on Tuesday with what was a hamstring injury.

The 24 year old is expected to be out for up a month, and Mourinho has
been quick to say that his absence would be a miss to the club.

Asked about Pogba, he had this to say.

"I don't know. Out for the weekend match, only one I am thinking
about. He [Pogba] is not playing this weekend. I don't know if same
one or other leg (as last season)."

"We have players waiting for an opportunity. We have started the
season really well, with one match a week. No need for changes. But
there are good players more than ready.

"We miss Pogba, we need him. But Herrera, Fellaini and Carrick are
waiting for a real chance. They are ready. We lost players during
crucial moments of the season. We didn't cry about that. We have to
cope. We will be without Pogba for a few matches but we have other
players to play."

While Pogba is entering a period where he would be out for sometime.
There is goodnews on the injury front for Manchester United, with Luke
Shaw now fit, but lacking match fitness.

"Luke Shaw is not injured any more. It is a question of form and
options. Not injured. Marcos Rojo is still in the timings after such
an important injury, everything went well. But he is not training with
the group in a normal session. He still has a couple of months."
