Rooney won't help "Man Utd" team in the upcoming matches © EuroFootball.com

In the upcoming matches, they will have to do without their main striker Wayne Rooney.

During Friday's training, the Englishman suffered a minor ankle ligament injury and will be unable to play for about 10 days.

"The injury is not serious, but Wayne won't be able to take the field next week," said Ferguson. "I think the treatment will take longer than a week."

England's champions are facing a Champions League group stage match at home against Basel on Tuesday, and a weekend game against Norwich.

Due to injuries, "Man Utd" is missing several players: defenders Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling, Rafael, midfielders Tom Cleverley, Michael Carrick, and Darron Gibson. However, Danny Welbeck and Rio Ferdinand are returning to the squad.
