Manchester United Await Wes Brown Foot Injury Verdict

Manchester United and England defender Wes Brown will discover on Monday if he has broken a bone in his left foot.

If Brown has broken the fifth metatarsal he is likely to miss the run-in to the Premier League season and potentially this summer's World Cup.

Brown, 30, suffered the injury in a challenge with Matt Jarvis in United's 1-0 win at Wolves on Saturday.

The versatile defender left Molineux with his foot in a protective boot and had a scan on the injury on Sunday.

Brown broke a metatarsal just over a year ago.

He won his 23rd cap for England against Egypt last Wednesday and is expected to be in Fabio Capello's squad for the World Cup in June.

However, if test results show he has broken another metatarsal, he faces a race against time to be fit for the finals in South Africa.

A United spokeswoman told BBC Sport the club was waiting for the results of the scan before making any comment.
