Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained the absence of Jesse Lingard for much of the season.

The England international has made just two appearances this season, both in the League Cup and not been seen in a United shirt since September.

But Solskjaer said: "Jesse will be in the squad (against Carabao Cup opponents Everton), yeah. He's been working hard in training.

"He's been unfortunate with having to isolate a few times, he's been in contact, or close contact with Covid, although he's not even had it himself.

"He's been very unlucky being away from the training ground a few times. He works really hard and he'll be involved in the squad, definitely, on Wednesday."
