Ryan Giggs was sent for an X-ray on an arm injury he suffered at Aston Villa, sparking fears he could miss Manchester United's Champions League encounter with AC Milan on Tuesday. Giggs injured himself in a clash with Steve Sidwell during the second half of United's 1-1 draw at Villa Park and immediately clutched his arm. The veteran Welshman was replaced by Dimitar Berbatov and left the stadium with his right arm in a sling, with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirming the hospital appointment. We have sent Ryan for an X-ray to see if there is any damage, said Ferguson. It is very painful but hopefully he is going to be all right. Giggs had already played a major role in United's equaliser, driving a low cross-shot into the Villa box that was turned into his own net by James Collins. Remarkably, it was the 10th own goal United have benefited from this season - second only to Rooney in the scoring charts - and it allowed them to close the gap on leaders Chelsea to a single point following their surprise defeat at Everton, the Reds' next Premier League opponents. We have gained, said Ferguson. It was an important night and, with Everton winning against Chelsea, we have gained one point and one goal. It could be important point. What do you think? Have your say. [LNB]
