for weeks after he picked up a knee injury on Saturday.
The 29 year old suffered the injury during the World Cup qualifier
between Belgium and Bosnia Herzegovina. He left the field in the first
half, and after initial fears from the Belgian press that he might
have picked up a ligament injury, scans carried out by the Belgian FA
reveals he has a knee injury that would keep him out for a number of
weeks.
The injury is another setback for Jose Mourinho's side. Who is already
without the services of Paul Pogba. He has missed a month with a
hamstring. In his absence, Marouane Fellaini has been a more than
capable replacement with three goals, including the brace he scored
against Crystal Palace before the international break.
A performance that drew praises from Jose Mourinho, which prompted the
Portuguese to refer to him as an important player.
In the mean time, he is now expected to miss the North-West derby
against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.
