Jones facing injury layoff, admits Ferguson

ALEX FERGUSON expects to be without Phil Jones for several weeks as the defender undergoes a scan on his injured ankle today.

“It's not good news for us. I think Jones will be out for a few weeks — it's ankle ligaments,” said the United boss.

Ferguson is already without Rio Ferdinand, Anderson, Tom Cleverley, Ashley Young, Michael Owen, Darren Fletcher and Nemanja Vidic.
