Manchester United will be missing Edinson Cavani for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City due to the injury that he picked up on international duty with Uruguay.

The experienced striker was forced to leave the field in just the 29th minute of his country's World Cup qualifier with Chile on Tuesday evening due to a calf issue.

Man United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick confirmed during Friday's press conference that the 35-year-old would be missing for the "next couple of weeks".

Cavani has been restricted to just 12 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils this season, with various injury issues keeping him on the sidelines for long spells.

The South American has only managed two goals during a disappointing campaign for the 20-time English champions, and he will leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of June.

Cavani is also set to miss the Premier League clash with Everton on April 9 but could potentially be available for the home game with Norwich City on April 16. body check tags ::
