  • 13 February 2009

Manchester United will be without Anderson and Jonny Evans for three weeks because of ankle injuries.

Midfielder Anderson, 20, and defender Evans, 21, were both stretchered off during United's Carling Cup win over Derby on Tuesday.

"Anderson went for a scan and there is no break," said Sir Alex Ferguson. "But there was some ligament damage. We think he will be out for three weeks.

"Jonny Evans will also be out for three weeks," added the United boss.

Rafael and Nani were also injured against the Rams and Ferguson confirmed that they will be missing for United's FA Cup clash with Tottenham on Saturday.
