Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is confident that Ryan Giggs will be back in action sooner rather than later after his latest hamstring injury.
The 32-year-old Wales international started the new season in top form, but picked up a knock in the 3-2 win over Celtic a week ago and missed the weekend defeat by Arsenal.
However, Ferguson told Manchester United Radio: "It is the first time Ryan has ever suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg, so we are hoping it won't take too long to heal.
"It was absolute agony to lose him. He has been the leader of the team in many ways.
"To lose him so early is a blow to us. His form has been absolutely outstanding."
Giggs has scored twice in six games this season and was named as the Premiership Player of the Month for August.
