Louis van Gaal gives update on Marcos Rojo's shoulder injury

By

Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal says defender Marcos Rojo will not undergo surgery to fix his shoulder problem.

The Argentinean was stretchered off with oxygen mask after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Manchester City and is expected to be on the sidelines for at least six weeks.

"When I want to select the same line-up, I cannot," van Gaal said during Friday's press conference.

"It's the same every week. It is like it is and I don't want to complain or cry because I have great belief in the players, myself and my staff.

"Also the supporters who are supporting us despite the results.

"Marcos [Rojo] dislocated his shoulder but did it in a positive way.

"We don't need to operate on him. It's a relief but maybe, with this injury, it is very difficult to prevent it from happening again. That is the problem.

"He saw a specialist yesterday evening who said the conservative way to heal it is best. For him, it was positive.

"Always with these injuries, I cannot change that. The human body has been made by God - not by me. Conservatively, it can be less than six weeks. If we have to operate, 12 weeks.

"[Chris] Smalling is suspended. Evans and Jones are still injured. So I have to solve a problem but I don't want to say who is playing yet."
