Shinji Kagawa will miss Manchester United's English Premier League top-of-the-table game with Chelsea on Sunday after the Japanese midfielder was ruled out for up to a month with a knee injury.
United manager Alex Ferguson revealed on Friday he should have substituted Kagawa sooner after the player suffered the problem in the first half during the 3-2 Champions League win over Braga on Tuesday.
Kagawa was eventually replaced at halftime by Nani.
"Kagawa is going to be out for three to four weeks,'' Ferguson said.

"I think playing on didn't help the situation although he did well to play on with it to be honest.''
United start the weekend four points behind leaders Chelsea after eight games, but Ferguson's side have won 10 of the last 11 games in all competitions.
"It is always a very difficult game for both Chelsea and ourselves, it's never easy,'' said Ferguson.
"Chelsea are top of the league and have had a great start to the season. They are playing an interesting formation and it's something we've got to deal with.''
It is the first of three games in a week for United which could shape their season.
They return to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday in the fourth round of the League Cup before entertaining Arsenal in the league on November 3.
United have managed just three clean sheets in 12 games in all competitions this season, but are set to welcome back Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra after both were rested as Ferguson's side came from 2-0 behind to beat Portuguese side Braga 3-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Watch the top-of-the-table clash live and exclusively on Fox Sports 1 at 2:53am (AEDT) on Monday.
