"But we have good kids coming in and we'll have 11 players on the field Wednesday night, thankfully we have two days of recovery!
"In football, you're never surprised, you always have to be ready for anything.Lose three players in the first half because of a thigh injury and we should probably eliminate Marcus too.
"[Jordan] Henderson went through him. His ankle is like a ball, it was just one of the many mistakes. If it's not an accumulation of mistakes, I do not know.

Solskjaer praised the United United Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay duo, who staged outstanding performances for the Red Devils.
He said: "Everything that could have gone wrong in the first half has gone bad. We had four injured – we had to keep Marcus Rashford – it seemed like it would be a difficult afternoon.
"I do not remember Liverpool having a chance, even though they had possession of the ball, I do not remember David de Gea having made a save.
"Scott McTominay was excellent. When they need a goal and they remove Mohamed Salah, you know that Luke Shaw played a good game. "
