Man Utd midfielder Michael Carrick ruled out of action for a month

MICHAEL CARRICK is likely to be out for up to a month with an ankle injury.

Michael Carrick CROCKED: Michael Carrick is likely to be out for a month

It's another huge blow for Manchester United, who crashed out the Capital One Cup on Wednesday against Sunderland.

Carrick turned his ankle after landing awkwardly on the astroturf strip that runs along the Old Trafford pitch.
The England midfielder was expected to be out for two weeks but initial tests have shown the injury to be more serious.

Carrick is now likely to miss the club's Premier League clash with Arsenal on February 12 and is a doubt for their Champions League last-16 first-leg tie against Olympiakos.
The deep-lying playmaker had only just returned from a six-week lay-off following an Achilles tendon problem and his absence is a further blow for David Moyes.
