TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a> : \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Scans have revealed Manchester United’s Phil Jones did not suffer a broken cheekbone during Wednesday’s 5-0 win at Fulham.<\/p>\n

Jones was forced to leave the field after 20 minutes after he clashed with Clint Dempsey and manager Sir Alex Ferguson revealed afterwards he feared the young England international faced a spell on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

But after scans revealed no break yesterday, Ferguson revealed Jones is set to feature in the Boxing Day clash against Wigan at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

“Phil Jones should be okay for Monday,” Ferguson said. “We feared the worst but there is no break.”<\/p>\n

Ferguson confirmed, however, Ashley Young would be sidelined for at least “a few weeks” after he picked up a knee injury at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

Young joins a growing injury list at Old Trafford that has already seen Nemanja Vidic ruled out for the season while Darren Fletcher will miss an unspecified period with a rare bowel condition.<\/p>\n

In addition, Rio Ferdinand is set to miss Monday’s game after picking up a foot injury in training.<\/p>\n

Despite their injury concerns United have won seven of their past eight Premier League matches since their 6-1 humbling at home to Manchester City to leave them two points adrift of their cross-town rivals.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
