Giggs out for 4 weeks.

Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs is expected to be sidelined for four weeks after fracturing his right arm in the 1-1 draw at Aston Villa on Wednesday.

The Welshman collided with Steve Sidwell during the second half and left Villa Park with his arm in a sling.

Giggs, 36, will miss the first leg of the Champions League last-16 clash with AC Milan, plus the Carling Cup final with Villa at Wembley on 28 February.

He will miss Premier League matches against Everton, Wolves and West Ham.

However, a statement on United's website said manager Sir Alex Ferguson hoped to have the winger back in action for the Champions League home leg against Milan on 10 March.

Giggs has been one of United's most consistent performers this season and his absence will be a loss for Ferguson and his men as they chase a Carling Cup, Champions League and Premier League treble.

The veteran midfielder, the most decorated player in English football with 11 Premier League winners' medals, has made 22 appearances for United so far this season, scoring four goals.

And his fine form has been recognised with a series of accolades, including the 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year and the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award back in April.

The injury casts a cloud over what was an otherwise satisfactory performance at Villa Park, one which saw United move to within a point of Premier League leaders Chelsea.

United will also be without Nani for the Carling Cup final as the Portuguese winger faces a three-match suspension after being shown a straight red card for a 28th-minute lunge at Stiliyan Petrov.

Fuck.
He should be back by the 2nd leg,but SAF might not risk him even then.
Injuries this season have been abysmal

Playing a half fit Giggs against Milan is asking for trouble.
