Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admits skipper Nemanja Vidic is almost certainly out of Saturday`s trip to Fulham.
Vidic sustained a calf strain during the 3-0 win at home to Wolves on Tuesday night - a game in which he scored United`s second goal.
Wes Brown also faces a two-week lay-off, which would be enough to rule him out of the entire festive programme, after suffering a hamstring injury against Aston Villa on Saturday.
It means Michael Carrick will be forced to continue in central defence at Craven Cottage, probably alongside 21-year-old rookie Ritchie De Laet.
"Ritchie showed some promise and he will probably be there on Saturday," said Ferguson. "We just have to get on with it."
