Defender Pair Injury Woe

Neville was replaced by substitute O'Shea just 13 minutes into the 2-0 home win on Wednesday night with a cut on the inside of his foot but O'Shea himself limped off with an ankle injury seven minutes into the second half.

"They are both looking at being out for weeks, because of two pretty bad tackles on them,"manager Sir Alex Ferguson said after the game.

"We've had a bad time at right-back but Wes Brown is coming back.

"They were both bad tackles but the referee didn't do anything about either of them and that's disappointing.

"You normally expect some firm discipline from Peter Walton - but not tonight."
