"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;LONDON (Reuters) -- Manchester United winger Ashley Young will be sidelined for several weeks with a knee injury, manager Alex Ferguson said on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Young, an England international, was injured during United's 5-0 thrashing of Fulham on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"It's not so good for Ashley Young,\" Ferguson told a news conference. \"We're still waiting on some of the bleeding to go away, which is quite extensive at the moment. It was a sore one so he'll be out for a few weeks.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was better news about Phil Jones who was caught in the face by an elbow from Fulham's Clint Dempsey during the match and came off in the 20th minute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ferguson said x-rays showed the versatile defender should be fit for United's Premier League clash against Wigan on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He has some swelling in his jaw but there's no break, no fracture, which is good news,\" Ferguson said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"We feared the worst because he lost his vision a bit in that period when he came back on to the field. Thankfully it's good news.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brazilian defender Rafael da Silva is also expected to return from long-term injury but Ferguson will be without midfielders Tom Cleverley and Anderson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, United lost captain Nemanja Vidic for the season with a ruptured cruciate knee ligament and midfielder Darren Fletcher announced an extended break from the game with a chronic bowel condition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"It's not an easy spell for us but we just have to get on with it. The squad has handled the situation quite well,\" Ferguson said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"The form has been really good and I'm pleased with that. We're scoring goals again, which is terrific.\"&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
