The Sweden centre-back, who picked up a knock against Chelsea last week but played at Bournemouth, was absent from the Reds’ latest work-out, in front of the media at Aon Training Complex on Wednesday morning, but Ole is hopeful the defender will be back for the Brighton game on Sunday.
“No, Victor is out, so he won’t be available,” Ole told MUTV.
“Hopefully he can make the weekend but I’m not sure.”
Fellow central defender Eric Bailly, who was pictured at the Aon Training Complex earlier this week, is two or three weeks away from a return to any action after undergoing knee surgery in July.
