Team security Paul Scholes fell out of the lineup until the beginning of next year due to a groin injury.

The veteran had returned to training, but the injury recurred and now the former England national team member will have to miss several Premier League matches.

In Sunday's match against London's Chelsea club, defender John O'Shea, who has a strained thigh, may also not play.
