Paul Scholes, the Manchester United midfielder, will be
out of action for 10 weeks after suffering medial ligament damage
in last night's Champions League win over Aalborg.
Scholes was injured just 16 minutes into the 3-0 victory and it
immediately became obvious that he could not continue. Sir Alex
Ferguson, the United manager, confirmed Scholes had suffered
ligament damage to his right knee and a scan this morning has
confirmed the extent of the damage.
He will not be available again until the visit to Tottenham on
December 13, which comes immediately before United head to Japan
for the World Club Championship.
Scholes is also expected to miss the remainder of the Champions
League group stage, plus key Premier League away games at Everton,
Arsenal and Manchester City. In total the 33-year-old could miss 16
matches.
