Dimitar Berbatov has been ruled out of Manchester United's next two matches with a hamstring injury. The Bulgaria striker will miss Saturday's Premier League match against Aston Villa and Tuesday's Champions League trip to Villarreal, and remains a doubt for the following Sunday's derby against Manchester City.
Berbatov limped out of Wednesday's friendly against Serbia. "It is a slight strain rather than a tear, so that is positive news," Ferguson said Friday. Centreback Rio Ferdinand is also doubtful for the match at Villa Park because of a back injury that ruled him out of last Saturday's 5-0 rout of Stoke.
Defender Wes Brown will be out for between four and five weeks after an exploratory ankle operation.
"Fortunately we have plenty of cover at right back, with Gary Neville, Rafael Da Silva and John O'Shea available to come in," Ferguson said.
