Rafael sidelined for Red Devils
Published : 26 Jan 2011 11:30:05

Manchester United full-back Rafael will miss Saturday's FA Cup tie with Southampton after being carried off on a stretcher at Blackpool with concussion.The Brazilian defender was involved in a sickening collision with Marlon Harewood and was taken to hospital for X-rays.Thankfully, he was quickly given the all-clear and was able to return to Manchester with his team-mates following the dramatic 3-2 win.However, as with all cases of concussion, United will ensure Rafael gets the correct break from physical contact and the 20-year-old will not travel to the south coast for this weekend's fourth-round tie.
