Scholes has been complaining of blurred vision since the match at Birmingham City at the back end of 2005. The former England international had started to show signs of returning to form and his prolonged absence is a blow to Sir Alex Ferguson, who already has major problems with his midfield.
O'Shea's injury came during United's 1-0 victory over Liverpool. Scans have shown that he has cracked two ribs and will probably be out until early March. O'Shea has been playing alot of games recently for the Red Devils and will probably need the break but I think that he would certainly not of liked it to come in this sort of fashion. It means Ferguson may be forced into the transfer market to bring in a midfielder to help ease his injury problems.
Bad bad news for the United team and supporters because Scholes had been playing well hitherto the injury and O'Shea has really done well since he got his run in the first team. I'm sure United will be more concerned as to the extent of the Scholes injury because it could threaten his whole playing carear.
