"Man Utd" lost another defender © EuroFootball.com

England national team and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand suffered a groin injury and it is very doubtful whether he will be able to take the field in Tuesday's Premier League match against Sheffield United.

The 28-year-old player suffered the injury in the first half of the Football Association Cup semi-final match against Watford in Birmingham.

R. Ferdinand suffered a similar injury in the Champions League quarter-final match against Roma last Tuesday.

Recently, Manchester United has been facing difficulties due to the absence of defenders. In addition to Ferdinand, captain Gary Neville, Mikael Silvestre, Nemanja Vidic and John O'Shea are also unable to play due to injuries.
