RYAN GIGGS will miss Manchester United's Champions League dates with AC Milan and the Carling Cup final after breaking his arm.
X-rays today revealed the Welshman fractured his right arm in a collision with Steve Sidwell during last night's 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.
The 36-year-old faces four weeks on the sidelines and will also miss the Premier League games against Everton, West Ham and Wolves.
His absence is a huge blow to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson at such a crucial stage of the season.
The Red Devils have closed to within a point of Premier League table toppers Chelsea as they chase a fourth successive title.
And the European clashes with Milan see them up against former United favourite David Beckham as the clubs battle for a quarter-final spot.
Giggs becomes the second first-team player to be ruled out of the Carling Cup final with Aston Villa at Wembley on February 28.
Nani's red card in last night's league clash between the clubs ensured he will miss out through suspension.
