Marouane Fellaini has been ruled out for at least two weeks with knee-ligament damage suffered on a 'dangerous' pitch while on Belgium duty.
The Manchester United midfielder will miss his club's clash at Liverpool on Saturday. United were already without Paul Pogba, while Michael Carrick has been out of action too.
As well as the game at Anfield, Fellaini is set to miss United's away games against Benfica in the Champions League, Huddersfield in the Premier League and Swansea in the Carabao Cup.

Fellaini suffered knee ligament damage during the early stages of the World Cup qualifier
Fellaini will return to Manchester on Monday to be assessed by United's medical staff.
He was hurt in Belgium's World Cup qualifying win over Bosnia on Saturday night. The Belgian FA confirmed on Sunday that Fellaini had damaged the medial ligament in his left knee.
The pitch in Sarajevo was very muddy after two days of heavy rain, and the Belgians believe that contributed to Fellaini's injury.
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne, Fellaini's Belgium team-mate, said Premier League clubs would be unhappy their players were made to take part
'The pitch was dangerous,' said De Bruyne. 'But we knew that on Friday. We had trained and we knew what was waiting for us.
'I can understand that they are not going to be happy in England when they see that match on TV. But it is what it is and you have to play.'
