Premier League - Fears for Nani after horror injury

Manchester United winger Nani could be facing a lengthy lay-off after suffering a deep gash in his leg during the 3-1 Premier League defeat by Liverpool at Anfield.

A club spokesman said the Portuguese player's injury would be assessed on Monday, but TV images appeared to show a horrific injury that cut the player to the bone.
Nani, United's most creative player this season, was caught on the shin by a dangerous tackle from Jamie Carragher shortly before half-time and was taken off on a stretcher.
Carragher was shown a yellow card by referee Phil Dowd.

Reds to assess Nani injury

United will assess Nani at Carrington on Monday morning following his injury in the Reds' 3-1 defeat at Anfield.
A club spokeswoman confirmed on Sunday afternoon that the Portuguese winger suffered a "very deep gash" in his ft leg after Jamie Carragher's challenge shortly before half-time. The Liverpool defender was booked by referee Phil Dowd and Nani played no further part in the match. He was carried off the field on a stretcher and replaced by substitute Javier Hernandez who later scored United's only goal with a header in injury time.
While fans will naturally be worried about Nani - one of United's best players of the season so far - there was some encouraging news in that his fellow winger Antonio Valencia was part of the Reds' travelling party for the Liverpool game.
The Ecuadorian was not named among the seven substitutes by Sir Alex Ferguson but his presence at Anfield, combined with his recent return to full-contact training, suggests a comeback may be close.
