1. Baleba facing weeks out in blow for CarrickMichael Carrick has revealed Carlos Baleba will be out for weeks with the hamstring injury the Manchester United midfielder sustained in Tuesday’s 3-2 victory over Roma. The 22-year-old Cameroonian was signed from Brighton in the summer for £70m and had made a promising start. But before Tuesday’s injury he had managed only seven appearances, the first on 10 October after recovering from an ankle problem he had when he joined. “It’ll be a number of weeks,” Carrick said. “It’s definitely not this week and it won’t be any time over the international break [which starts on Monday]. Carrick also gave an update on Patrick Dorgu, who has been unavailable since sustaining a hamstring problem with Denmark during the last international break.
