Injury blows for both United and Spurs
Both Manchester United and Tottenham have today been hit by the news that they will be without key centre defenders Nemanja Vidic (2-3 weeks) and Ledley King (rest of season) through injury.
Vidic injured himself during United's superb 2-0 away victory in Rome on Tuesday. He appeared to fall awkwardly on his left knee mid-way through the first-half of United's game against the Serie A side.
Meanwhile King has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a persistent knee injury. He has been told he must give the knee rest and therefore he will take no further part in Spurs' season.
Obviously big blows for both clubs considering the calibre of player that have been ruled out. Both King and Vidic are vital parts of both teams and I am sure, in United's case, they will be desperate to have Vidic back as soon as possible.
