Berbatov Out For Two Weeks
Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has been ruled out for two weeks with an ankle injury.[LNB]The Bulgarian suffered the problem during the 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at Fulham two weeks ago.[LNB]He subsequently pulled out of his country's World Cup qualifying double-header against the Republic of Ireland and Cyprus, and he will play no part in Sunday's league clash against Aston Villa.[LNB]"It's probably going to be another two weeks," said Ferguson. "Hopefully he will be back training with us at the end of next week and he will be okay after that."[LNB]It leaves Ferguson with a major selection headache for Sunday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa as Wayne Rooney is also out through suspension.[LNB]In addition, Carlos Tevez is not due back from South America until later this afternoon following Argentina's stunning six-goal hammering in Bolivia.[LNB]"I think he gets back from Mars about 4pm," joked Ferguson.[LNB]"With Dimitar out and Wayne suspended hopefully Carlos will be okay. that will give us one striker, then we will have to choose another."Should the prognosis prove correct, the 28-year-old will also crucially miss both legs of the Champions League quarter-final against Porto and next weekend's league trip to Sunderland.[LNB]It would put him in line for a return in the FA Cup semi-final against Everton on April 19, but the talented frontman will undoubtedly be missed a crucial stage in the season.[LNB]Should Liverpool avoid defeat at Fulham tomorrow, United could find themselves knocked off the top of the table heading into the match with Villa.[LNB]Berbatov has scored 13 times in 33 appearances for the Red Devils since joining from Tottenham for £30million last summer.[LNB]
