Baleba out for few weeks due to hamstring injury, says Carrick

Manchester United midfielder Carlos Baleba will miss several weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in Tuesday’s 3-2 Champions League win over AS Roma. The absence is a setback for United as they seek to end a run without a Premier League win since August.

Manager Michael Carrick said Baleba would not play this week or return during the international break, and that his recovery would take longer. Left-back Patrick Dorgu is also a doubt for Sunday’s match against Aston Villa, despite returning to training after a hamstring problem; United are 17th in the league.
