Nicky Butt could be out for two weeks after injuring his groin in Manchester United's epic FA Cup victory over Aston Villa.
Butt had to come off in the first half at Villa Park and tests today have revealed he could be sidelined for at least a fortnight.
Sir Alex Ferguson said on MUTV: "He got a groin injury unfortunately. He slipped going into a challenge and he had to come off quite early on."
The injury is particularly tough on Butt because he had been enjoying his best form for months.
