Injured pogba may be out for weeks-mourinho

Paul Pogba could be out of action for a “few weeks ” after suffering a suspected hamstring injury that took the shine off Manchester United ’s successful return to the Champions League , manager Jose Mourinho said .
United , who missed out on qualification for Europe ’ s premier club competition last season , coasted to a 3- 0 victory on Tuesday , with goals for Marouane Fellaini , Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford .
But , making his debut as United captain, Pogba lasted just 18 minutes of the Champions League Group A game before being forced off by an apparent left hamstring injury , with Fellaini taking his place .
The 24 -year - old Frenchman reportedly left Old Trafford on crutches .
“I don’t know ( what the severity is) ,” Mourinho told MUTV , the club’s in -house television station . “I just know from experience it’s a muscular injury . In my experience, muscular injury stops you from playing for a few weeks , I think .
“It looks for me too ( like a hamstring injury ) but I haven ’ t spoken yet to the medical department . ”
But the United boss said he had midfield options for the weekend ’s Premier League clash with Everton , including Ander Herrera , Michael Carrick , Fellaini and Nemanja Matic .
France will be hoping Pogba is fit in time to play in the crucial World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria on October 7 .
