Manchester United defender Phil Jones is to have an X-ray after suffering a facial injury in the 5-0 win at Fulham.
Jones appeared to take a knock to the face in a challenge with Fulham forward Clint Dempsey early on in the first half at Craven Cottage.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Phil Jones got an elbow to the jaw and we’ll send him for an X-ray. It doesn’t look good.”
Ashley Young will also be out for two to three weeks with a knee problem.
The winger was forced off in the second half after a challenge from Dickson Etuhu and is likely to miss the whole festive period.
Defender Rio Ferdinand missed Wednesday’s win because of a knock and will not be fit for the Boxing Day clash with Wigan.
“Rio will maybe be back for the Blackburn game on New Year’s Eve,” said Ferguson.
“Phil [Jones] is a concern and Ashley is out for two or three weeks. It was an elbow [on Jones], but I don’t think it was intentional.
“I thought the challenge on Ashley Young was aggressive. We’re all right in the striker department, it’s in other areas we are picking up injuries.”
