Manchester United have
suffered a major pre-season injury blow after England defender Chris Smalling
was ruled out for up to 10 weeks with a broken metatarsal- again....
Smalling had been training at United's Carrington HQ after
recovering from a thigh injury that ended his hopes of appearing at Euro
2012.

However, it has now been confirmed the 22-year-old has suffered a new
setback.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson told MUTV: "He got an injury on the
Wednesday and, straight away, we decided to have the operation, so he's out.

"It's difficult to say with a metatarsal but it could be 10 weeks.

"He's not carrying any luck, the kid, but he's young and we've done the right
thing in getting it done immediately and getting him back on the road as quickly
as we can."

Jeesh. I can empathize as a fan. The most important thing is that Vidic is back for them though.

Ouch :(, No worries we got cover. That's football he'll be back stronger.

Noo! that means Johnny Evans is next on the line for substituting...
