Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Paul Pogba is still some time away from making a playing return.
Pogba, who has not played since September 30, is rehabilitating from an ankle injury and has spent time in Miami this month.
The central midfielder drew criticism from supporters this week after a video emerged of him playing basketball with Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler.
Solskjaer, however, says: "He had another test and scan just at the start of the international break and it's not healed yet. He's stepping up the recovery so he doesn't have to have the cast on.
"He's been out for six or seven weeks so he's gradually stepping it up, walking, on the treadmill and bike. We hope to see him in 2019.
"We don't play basketball. I don't see many basketball players tackling ankles, twisting and turning with studs. He's not ready to train."
