Share

Bad news again. Manchester United now have their 9 first team player out of the show. United's injury list increased on Friday with the news that defender Jonny Evans and midfielder Anderson will be out of action for three weeks with ankle injuries.

This pair were both injured during the league cup semi final against Derby County on tuesday.

Anderson was carried off on a stretcher after the final whistle while Evans limped through the latter stages of United's 4-2 win at Old Trafford.

Rio Ferdinand has now missed eight matches with a recurring back problem, Wes Brown and Patrick Evra are both out with ankle injuries and Rafael is expected to be out for up to month having torn his hamstring.

John O'Shea and Nimanja Vidic are now only senior defenders left for Ferguson.

Ryan Giggs remains doubtful and Wayne Rooney is not expected back for another fortnight while he recovers from a hamstring problem.

With these players out of the action United will have to face Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup today.
