Rafael misses cup tie
Rafael will miss Saturday's FA Cup tie at Southampton after being stretchered off in Tuesday night's dramatic win at Blackpool.
The Brazilian full-back clashed heads with Marlon Harewood in the latter stages of United's 3-2 victory and was swiftly taken to a local hospital. He was not detained overnight, however, and was able to travel back with the rest of the Reds squad to Manchester.
Sir Alex Ferguson told ManUtd.com this morning: "It's a straightforward one. He has concussion and will miss Saturday's game."
The timing is unfortunate for Rafael - he also missed last weekend's match against Birmingham City due to a one-match suspension for his two yellow cards at Tottenham Hotspur.
