03/04/2008 09:28, Report by Ben HibbsVidic out for 2-3 weeks
Nemanja Vidic has been ruled out for two or three weeks with a knee injury.
The Serbian centre-back came off after just 31 minutes of the 2-0 win in Roma on Tuesday after falling awkwardly.
He was sent for a scan on Wednesday, the results of which showed the injury not to be serious.
A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com: "There is no major damage to left knee, and he will be out for 2-3 weeks."
Vidic will therefore miss the Premier League matches against Middlesbrough and Arsenal and Wednesday's Champions League quarter final second leg clash with Roma.
He could return to face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday 19 April, and will hope to play should United reach the Champions League semi finals before United take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 26 April. -
wa i and u posted at the same time LOL
-
haha but I beat you to it by a minute.

-

-
Wah like that ah... so coincident the two of you... Like that how to close... which one to close... front also flesh, back also flesh... Aiya best is leave it lah...
You two twins is it?
-
So who you guys think is best to replace Vidic at the back?
Pique/Oshea/Brown?
I must admit, Brown's been doing a good job at right back, hope he's not moved.
-
Some may find it hard to believe but my vote goes to Silvestre...
Reason being Pique is too young and too inexperience for this stage of the season...
O'Shea, no confidence on him playing centre on a regular bases and he is too slow as well...
Brown, tho not too bad but still find Silvestre still better than him in the centre and moreover, will disrupt the right-back spot......
My choice is Silvestre...
-
brown centre hargreaves right back

i wonder when will pique be ready...
i hope he gets to play if not he'll definitely go back to barca which i dont want to see.
-
Oh yea..forgot about Silvestre.
My only problem with him is that he's prone to lapses in concentration towards the end of the match.
It happened a couple of times last season.. but luckily we were leading 3-0 already.
-
silves lacks match fitness..and now is nt a good time to let him play...maybe brown go centre and hargreaves go rb..

hmm i believe this is the best solution right now... hargreaves needs to play.. his run and cross as a right bk is not bad too. hopes vidic get back asap i am afraid our defence might not hold wihtout him.
-
Haha, i hope our defence doesn't turn rickety!
-
hargreaves i think pwn brown in rb..he can do overlap as well as float perfect crosses
-
just curious -> why no major and yet 2-3 weeks?
2-3 weeks can be quite massive given that it is end of season leh.
Just hope that it is not a smoke screen for something serious.
Anyway, rest is good.. Wish to see Vidic attack and score some headers again...
-
cos if its usually a knee problem like ole..and park it takes 1 whole year maybe 5-7 months so 2-3 weeks quite ok liao
-
okie.. just hope the extra rest helps him..
but to be honest, Rio has stepped up.
