Chris Smalling blow for Manchester United

Chris Smalling
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has been ruled out for a month with a broken foot, manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed.

The 21-year-old missed the Premier League win at Everton with the injury.

Smalling's lay-off means he will miss England's November friendlies against Spain and Sweden.

Ferguson told MUTV: "Smalling has a small fracture on his foot.

"I think he'll be out for a month and it's unfortunate that one."

There was better news on Tom Cleverley despite the midfielder limping out of the Everton game.

He has a tight ankle but is expected to be fit for the Champions League game against Otelul Galati at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
