Manchester United have suffered a triple injury blow with defenders Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Rafael da Silva set for spells on the sidelines. Ferdinand will be out for six weeks after being substituted with a hamstring injury during Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win over West Brom. Vidic, who like Ferdinand was replaced during the game, is set to miss the next fortnight with a calf injury. Rafael faces about 10 weeks out with a dislocated shoulder. He appeared as a substitute in the 3-2 Community Shield win over Manchester City last weekend but sustained the injury in training. Ferdinand's problem means he will be sidelined until the start of October and will miss England's upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales.
