Scholes out for three months
Paul Scholes has been ruled out until the end of January after scan
results showed he has suffered knee ligament damage.
The 32-year-old midfielder was given the news after visiting a
specialist on Monday. He is now scheduled to undergo surgery on
Thursday to correct the problem.
He sustained the injury after turning awkwardly in training the
night before United's Champions League Group F clash with Dynamo
Kyiv.
The Salford-born star was immediately ruled out of the game, then
sent for a scan when the team returned to Manchester after the 4-2
victory. The initial results proved inconclusive, so he was sent
for another scan and consultation with another specialist on
Monday.
A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com: "We can confirm that Paul
Scholes has suffered a knee ligament injury. He will undergo an
operation on Thursday and will be out for approximately 12
weeks."
