Man Utd midfielder Carrick out for six weeks with fractured elbow

London - English champions Manchester United will be without midfielder Michael Carrick for up to six weeks after the England player revealed he has a fractured right elbow.

Carrick suffered the injury late in United's Champions League win over Roma on Tuesday and X-rays after the game showed he had suffered a fracture.

The 26-year-old will miss England's two Euro 2008 qualifying games against Estonia and Russia later this month and leaves United with only one recognised central midfielder in Paul Scholes.
