Manchester United boss David Moyes expects Phil Jones to be back in the next week.
Jones suffered a knee injury over Christmas.
"Phil is getting better [in his recovery from injury]," stressed Moyes. "He's coming on.
"He's played a very important role and it's important we get him back because he can do different roles for us. He's coming on and I don't think he's too far away."
