But Solskjaer was happy with his impact and is looking forward to having him back in the team.

Pogba could be in the starting team for their Premier League match against Newcastle on Friday.

Tottenham have failed with their appeal against Son Heung-Min's red card received in their 2-nil defeat to Chelsea earlier this week.

The South Korean was dismissed in the second half of the match, when VAR showed him kicking out at Blues defender Antonio Rudiger in retaliation to being fouled.

The Spurs forward will miss their next three matches against Brighton, Norwich, and Southampton over the festive period.
