WEST BROMWICH, England (AP) - Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney could be out of action for two weeks after injuring his left ankle in Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win at West Bromwich Albion.
Rooney scored in the third minute for his first goal from open play since March but hobbled off late in the match after he was hurt in a tackle by Chris Brunt.
Rooney limped back onto the field for the final few minutes because United had used all its substitutes.
United manager Alex Ferguson says "it looks as though he is out for a couple of weeks."
Ferguson added that the England striker had been "absolutely magnificent and drove us the whole way."
United leads the Premier League and hosts Stoke on Tuesday.
