Edinson Cavani is Manchester United's only injury concern ahead of their match with Leicester in the Premier League this weekend. The Uruguayan forward picked up an injury while away on international duty and could be out for as long as five weeks.
United return to action against Leicester on Saturday night for the first time since the Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid on March 15.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Rangnick confirmed that Cavani would miss the Leicester match and later on he elaborated on the setback in a separate interview.

"Yeah, they all seem to be fit," he told club media when asked about the players who had been away on international duty. "The only player who is injured, unfortunately again, is Edinson Cavani. In his second game, he had to be substituted after 25 minutes with some calf problems.
"According to the doctor, he will be out for a couple of weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks. So we have to wait and see. That’s obviously bad news to have another striker missing out. Apart from that, all the others seem to be fit."
However, there was some good news with Brazilian duo Alex Telles and Fred both in contention to play a part, Rangnick added: "They flew back directly after the game. By today, they should have overcome any jet-lag problems and are available."
