Manchester United captain Harry Maguire will miss Wednesday’s Europa League final against Villareal in Gdansk, Manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has confirmed.
The 28-year old Maguire suffered an ankle ligament injury against Aston Villa on May 9.
The England center-back attended a screening of Sir Alex Ferguson's film at Old Trafford on Thursday without crutches, sparking hope he may be fit.
"He is walking but it is a long way from that to running," said Solskjaer.
"We will give him every chance but I don't think we will see him in Gdansk. Steadily but surely he is improving but ligaments take time to heal."
Maguire will still be in Poland and play an important part in United's preparations as they try to win their first trophy since 2017.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's Premier League trip to Wolves, the Norwegian also said his side had made significant improvements this season in securing only their second runners-up spot since Ferguson retired in 2013.
However, he thinks the club need to be active in the transfer market this summer if they are to close the gap on champions Manchester City.
