Man Utd boss Solskjaer reveals Bailly boost ahead of West Brom clash

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Eric Bailly is back in contention.

Bailly has returned to training and could be available for Manchester United against West Brom in the Premier League on Sunday.

He has suffered a couple of minor injury setbacks of late that have robbed him of the momentum he had built up in starting in seven out of nine games from mid-December to mid-January.

He's now not started any of the last six games but his return to action could see him back on the bench at least. But United will still be without Paul Pogba as he nurses a thigh injury.

Solskjaer said, "We've had a rare opportunity to do a little bit of training and some recovery Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and not a game until Sunday which is a rarity for us. Paul is still out, Eric been training, that's a boost for us."
