Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that this season’s top scorer suffered a stress fracture in his back during last week's Emirates FA Cup third-round replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford.
Speaking after the subsequent Liverpool game, the manager gave this update on the Academy graduate: “He won’t be back until after the mid-season break. Normally a stress fracture is six weeks to heal and then he would probably need some recovery or rehab after that.”
Always an optimist, Marcus has now used his official social media accounts to communicate a positive message to concerned Reds supporters around the world.
