Owen Hargreaves has been ruled out for up to a month, Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed.
The Reds midfielder is to have an injection in his knee to try and cure the tendonitis problems he has been suffering from.
"He will have an injection in his knee," confirmed the boss on MUTV. "It was an option that we had some weeks ago, but after training on Monday he was feeling it and we just have to go ahead and give him the injection.
"Hopefully that's the end of it and he comes back 100 per cent."
The 26-year-old had been tipped to play against Roma on Tuesday at Old Trafford, but his name was again absent from the team-sheet. The former Bayern Munich midfielder's start to his United career has been blighted by injuries and he hasn't played since the win over Sunderland on 1 September.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was forced off against Roma in the final five minutes of the match, has had four stitches to the head wound he suffered against the Italians.
