LONDON - Manchester United midfielder
Michael Carrick will be out for three weeks with an Achilles
problem but defender Rio Ferdinand is fit again, manager Sir Alex
Ferguson said on Friday.
"We've had a little setback with Michael Carrick. Out for
three weeks with an Achilles problem. He's seen a specialist
and had an injection," Ferguson told reporters.

United, who travel to Everton on Saturday, will also be
without Brazilian midfielder Anderson, who has a slight niggle
but England captain Ferdinand is fit again after recovering
from a knee ligament injury sustained before the World Cup.
"Anderson came off with a niggle last night but it won't
knock him back for long," Ferguson said.
"Everyone else is fit. Rio's in the squad - he wanted to
play last night (for the reserves) but his training
performances are so good, he doesn't need to."
