Edinson Cavani is recovering from a time trial from a right ankle injury to play for his team, Manchester United, who host Everton for the 23rd round of the Premier League at Old Trafford this Saturday. The match will start at Uruguay’s 17 hour.
The 33-year-old Cavani was injured Tuesday in the game against Southampton where the Red Devils prevailed with an overwhelming 9-0, with Cavani scoring the fourth goal of the game.
“Edinson had a bad tackle on his ankle, so he had to go out. He probably would have loved to be out there, scoring goals, but there was no point taking risks. Hopefully it won’t get too swollen, “Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who replaced Cavani with Anthony Martial at halftime, said after the game.

It was defender Kayne Ramsay who committed a hard infraction to Cavani in Tuesday’s game in an incident where the referee, Mike Dean, took a penalty, but then, at the request of the VAR, he reviewed the action and called a free kick because the infraction had been outside the area.
Manchester United is bottom of Manchester City with 44 points and is three behind although their archrivals in the city have a less played game.
Everton, by James Rodríguez, was the sensation at the start of the Premier and now is sixth with 36 points to two of West Ham United that occupies, for now, a place for the next edition of the Europa League.
Manchester City has on Sunday, at 13.30, a risky exit against the champion Liverpool who is fourth with 40 points.
