Manchester United will be without striker Wayne Rooney for four
weeks after he injured an ankle in training.
The England international left the club's Carrington base on
crutches, meaning he will not feature against Blackburn at Old
Trafford on Sunday.
Rovers manager Mark Hughes will not consider midfielder Steven
Reid, who is not fully fit following 14 months of knee and back
problems.
Hughes has no new injury worries and is set to choose from an
unchanged squad.
Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown,
O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evans, Evra, Simpson, Ronaldo,
Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Eagles, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Saha,
