 Scholes is not expected to return until February
|
Manchester United have suffered a huge blow with the news that Paul Scholes will be out for three months.
The 32-year-old midfielder has been diagnosed with damaged knee ligaments and will have an operation on Thursday.
Scholes picked up the injury in training ahead of the Champions League win over Dynamo Kiev last week.
Fellow midfielder Michael Carrick is also sidelined although Owen Hargreaves has recently returned to the side following knee problems.
Carrick, who dislocated an elbow against Roma earlier this month, is set to return to training this week and could feature against Arsenal on Saturday.
....and if that wasn't bad enough
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson also expects captain Gary Neville to be back in action soon.
