Giggs out for ‘couple of weeks’: Ferguson

Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs is set to be out for a “couple of weeks” according to Sir Alex Ferguson after the veteran winger suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Bolton.

Both Giggs and England striker Wayne Rooney were substituted in the second half at the Reebok Stadium during a match which saw United leapfrog Arsenal into second place in the English Premier League.

“Ryan is the most serious, it’s a hamstring and I’m afraid he will be out for a couple of weeks,” Ferguson said before adding he expected Rooney to be ready for the midweek Champions League tie away to Valencia.

“I’m sure Wayne will get ready for Wednesday.”
