No break for Rio

Scans have revealed Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has not suffered a broken bone in his left foot.

The England international limped off in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough and left the Riverside with his foot in protective plastic casing.

Medical assessments on Monday have revealed there is no fracture in the foot but United have not been able to put a timescale on the 29-year-old's return.

"Rio went for a scan on Monday and we can confirm that he has not suffered any break," said a statement on manutd.com.
