Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to have Paul Scholes back in training next week.
United are still without Scholes for their clash with West Bromwich Albion, but he could rejoin the first-team training squad next week.
"He suffered a recurrence of a groin injury," explained United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. "So we told him to take a complete break and hopefully that will get it sorted.
"We hope to have him back in training next week."
