After the "Community Shield" title match, "Manchester United" received sad news. The main team's right-back Rafael da Silva, who injured his ankle in the match against "Wigan", will be out of the lineup for four to five weeks.
In the middle of the first half, after a collision with an opponent, the Brazilian was forced to leave the field because of the pain. He was replaced by Chris Smalling.
This worries "Man Utd" coach David Moyes, as the start of the season for the team looks challenging - matches against "Chelsea" and "Liverpool" are ahead. However, for the first Premier League match against "Swansea", the defender would have been unavailable anyway, as he is suspended due to cards.
Nevertheless, it is hoped that the loss of the Brazilian will not cost "United" too much, as the coach has right-back options in Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, and also Rafael's brother Fabio played a lot of matches in that position during the preseason.
