Silvestre Out Six Weeks

Looks like the injury sustained during the encounter with Arsenal a couple of weeks back wasn't just a simple knock. Apparently Silvestre injured his metatarsa and is confirmed out for at least 6 weeks.

This should be good news since we wouldn't have to see Silvestre making anymore defensive boo boos for at least a month and a half, however this also means that Evra will be the first line of defense in the absence of Heinze. Between dumb and dumber, I'd take Silvestre anytime over the hapless Evra. I'm sure many of us would rather Evra got injured instead.

Don't get me wrong, I hate to see any United players get injured, but if it happens to players like Silvestre or Evra, it's usually addition by subtraction.
