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 this afternoon's 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."
