Giggs out for a month
#1
Looks like Giggsy picked up quite a knock against Villa

Giggs out for four weeks
United ace fractured arm in Villa draw

Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs has been ruled out for the next four weeks after suffering a fractured arm against Aston Villa.

The winger picked up the injury after a collision with Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell in the second half and he was replaced by Dimitar Berbatov.

Giggs had earlier been involved in United's first-half equaliser as the Welshman's cross-shot deflected off James Collins and into the net.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had been hoping for a positive bulletin on Giggs' injury, but X-rays have shown the 36-year-old has fractured his arm.

It means the long-serving schemer will miss several key games for United, starting with next Tuesday's UEFA Champions League trip to AC Milan.

He will also sit out the Carling Cup final against Villa at Wembley later this month and is scheduled to miss Premier League fixtures against Everton, West Ham United and Wolves.

Giggs will be facing a race to be fit in time for the second leg of the last 16 tie with Milan at Old Trafford on Wednesday 10th March.

The absence of the influential Giggs is compounded by a three-match suspension for the in-form Nani, who was sent off in the first half against Villa.

Nani will miss the Everton, West Ham and Villa games, so Antonio Valencia and Park Ji-sung could be set for a run in the United team on the domestic front.
