Ecuador doc confirms Man Utd winger Valencia out six months

Ecuador team doctor Patricio Maldonado expects Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia to be missing for six months following his horror ankle injury.

Valencia suffered a suspected fracture dislocation of his left ankle after an innocuous challenge with Rangers' Kirk Broadfoot during the 0-0 Champions League draw at Old Trafford.

"He will be out for an initial four to five months, and then he will need a lot of rehabilitation to recover his mobility, so it will be at least six months before he returns to action," Maldonado told Ecuadorian television.
