Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has been ruled out for a month with a broken foot, manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed.

 

The 21-year-old missed the Barclays Premier League win at Everton with the injury.

Smalling's lay-off means he will miss England's November friendlies against Spain and Sweden.

Ferguson told MUTV: "Smalling has a small fracture on his foot.

"I think he'll be out for a month and it's unfortunate that one."
