Man Utd rocked as Louis van Gaal confirms two key injuries for Leicester clash
LOUIS VAN GAAL has confirmed he'll be without Ander Herrera and Phil Jones for Manchester United's visit to Leicester (5:30pm).
Louis van Gaal says Ander Herrera and Phil Jones will miss Leicester clash
Herrera picked up a hamstring injury during the weekend's 2-1 win over Watford as Jones was forced off at Vicarage Road with an ankle complaint.
The United pair were unavailable for Wednesday's goalless draw against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
Van Gaal is refusing to put a return date on the duo but has confirmed they will not face Leicester in a top-of-the-table clash.
On the availability of Herrera and Jones, the United manager said: "I cannot say that because these kind of injuries you cannot predict.

"I don’t think it is weeks, but I think within two weeks one of the two can come back. But you can never predict that, because injuries are unpredictable."
When asked if there are any fresh injuries from midweek, he added: "It’s too early to say something about that but it was a very intense game. I cannot say too much about that."
