Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects Wayne Rooney to be out for more than a week after the England striker missed their 1-1 draw at Stoke.
United's 100% start to the Barclays Premier League season came to an end in Rooney's absence and the 25-year-old had earlier 'Tweeted' that he was "gutted" he had been unable to play due to a hamstring problem, but hoped he would be fit to feature in the Champions League clash with Basle at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
However, when asked about Rooney's condition after the match at the Britannia Stadium, Ferguson told MUTV: "It is difficult to say. It's a hamstring. It is not a serious one, it is a mild one.
"I don't think he will be available for next week. It will be more than a week out."
