Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho doesn't expect to see Victor Lindelof until Christmas.
United are set to be without defender Lindelof until the New Year after he suffered a muscular injury in Saturday's goalless draw at home to Crystal Palace.
"He has the scan tomorrow but by the experience of the medical department and the feeling of the player, he has a muscular problem and muscular problems take time," said Mourinho.
"I would say if we have him for the Christmas period, where we need, if possible, every player to be available for that difficult period until the Newcastle match on January2, if we can have Victor available for that period that will be good."
