English Premier News :: Paul Scholes injures medial knee ligament - out for 10 weeks

Posted on 2008-10-02 by Gooner

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes will be out of action for 10 weeks after suffering medial ligament damage in Tuesday night's Champions League win over Aalborg.

Scholes was injured just 16 minutes into the Red Devils' 3-0 win and it immediately became obvious that he could not continue.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson suggested after the game that Scholes would be missing for about eight weeks but after being assessed by club medical staff, the damage is even worse.

It means Scholes will miss the rest of his side's Champions League group campaign, plus key Premier League away games at Everton, Arsenal and Manchester City.

In total the 33-year-old could miss 15-20 matches from United's season.

Manchester United also have Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves are currently on the sidelines as well.
