Wayne Rooney
faces four weeks on the sidelines after
suffering a gash on his right leg
He was injured when blocking a free-kick and
Fulham's Hugo Rodallega landed
on the
England international's thigh.
Rooney, who spent the night in hospital before being released
on Sunday, will
miss two World Cup qualifiers.
"Wayne Rooney's been whisked off to hospital immediately
and it looks a bad
one," said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I think he could be out for four weeks with a bad gash."
Rooney had started United's 3-2 win on the substitutes'
bench but replaced
Shinji Kagawa on 68 minutes, and
lasted less than 25 minutes before being forced
from the field.
Rooney will miss England's two World Cup qualifiers against
Moldova and
Ukraine on 7 and 11 September, as well as three
league games including the away
fixture at Liverpool on 23 September.
