Manchester United's Wes Brown faces six-week lay-off


Brown will be slightly anxious over making the World Cup in South Africa

Manchester United and England defender Wes Brown faces a lay-off of four to six weeks, although the nature of his injury has not been specified.
The 30-year-old suffered the injury in a challenge with Matt Jarvis in United's 1-0 win at Wolves on Saturday.
Brown left Molineux with his foot in a protective boot before having a scan on the injury on Sunday.
He will now hope to win his fitness race in time for the Premier League run-in and the summer's World Cup.
England's World Cup kicks off on 12 June against the United States.
With nine games remaining in the Premier League, as well as their ongoing Champions League campaign, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "We hope to get him back for some of the season."
It is another bad injury for the right back, who has also slotted in at centre-back, and comes just over a year after breaking a metatarsal.
Brown won his 23rd cap for England against Egypt last Wednesday and is expected to be in Fabio Capello's squad for the World Cup in South Africa.

Boy, injury at the back is what has held back the Empire this season. As soon as Vidic and Rio return, Evans got injuried on international duty now Wes is injuried. I was hoping he would be playing rightback to try and keep Ronaldinho at bay. Lets hope Rio and Vidic stay fit for the rest of the season.
