Paul Pogba, Raphael Varane set to be available against Leicester City

Pogba, Varane set to be available against Leicester

Manchester United duo Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba should both be available for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City at Old Trafford.

The France duo had emerged as doubts for the contest after picking up issues while representing their country.

Varane was forced off in his national side's victory over the Ivory Coast on Friday with a foot problem, while Pogba could not complete Sunday's training session after picking up a similar issue.

However, Varane played 80 minutes of France's 5-0 win over South Africa on Tuesday, having been declared fit to take to the field.

Pogba dropped out of the starting XI for the friendly but was named on the bench and played the final 25 minutes, replacing Olivier Giroud for the world champions.

As a result, both players are expected to be available for selection for Man United this weekend, as Ralf Rangnick's side look to return to winning ways following their Champions League disappointment.

Edinson Cavani, though, has emerged as a major doubt for the clash with the Foxes, having picked up a calf problem during Uruguay's win over Chile on Tuesday.
