Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that midfielder Paul Scholes will be out of action for two weeks with a knee injury.
The former England international was forced to sit out of United's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the first leg of the round-of-16 Champions League tie on Wednesday.
Ferguson revealed in a press conference today that he will be unable to call on the 38-year-old for a further fortnight.
The former Premier League champions are due to take on Reading in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Monday.
