Michael Carrick has confirmed that Carlos Baleba will miss several weeks with a hamstring injury sustained against Roma.
The Manchester United midfielder was injured during the match against the Italian club. According to the head coach, his recovery will take several weeks, ruling Baleba out of Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Baleba will also be unable to return during the upcoming international break, leaving United without him for their next few matches.
There is more positive news on Patrick Dorgu, who has resumed light training after recent hamstring problems.
However, Manchester United's medical staff will not rush the defender back. The club are being cautious given the nature of his previous injuries.
Dorgu remains a doubt for Sunday's match against Aston Villa. A final decision will depend on his condition and further recovery.
