Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Ashley Young will be sidelined for "two or three weeks" after being forced off with an injury during his side's 5-0 win at Fulham.
Young came off at Craven Cottage with what looked like a knee injury after a challenge from Dickson Etuhu.
Phil Jones could also be sidelined over the Christmas period after he picked up a jaw injury, while the Scot claimed that Rio Ferdinand will return in two weeks.
"We've got a couple of injuries. Phil Jones got an elbow to the jaw and we'll send him for an X-ray tomorrow. It doesn't look good," Ferguson told BBC Sport.
"Rio will be back for the Blackburn game on New Year's Eve. Phil is a concern and Ashley is out for two or three weeks."
The Red Devils next host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league on Boxing Day.
