Daley Blind’s knee injury will sideline him for several weeks but not six months, say Manchester United.<\/p>\n

“First he needs to rest for 10 days, then we will have a better idea,” said United boss Louis van Gaal.<\/p>\n

United had initially tweeted that the Dutch midfielder, 24, would be sidelined for six months.<\/p>\n

“I can’t say it will be six to eight weeks,” added Van Gaal. “I can’t even say it will be 10 to 12 weeks. But it is definitely not six months.”<\/p>\n

United quickly deleted the tweet about Blind, who was injured in his country’s 6-0 win over Latvia<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But the player tweeted a picture of himself wearing the knee brace<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>following the confusion about his injury status.<\/p>\n

“Wow, all of a sudden a lot of messages!” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“Still working hard guys, but don’t worry; I’ll be back stronger! And thanks a lot for all the kind messages!”<\/p>\n

Winger Angel Di Maria and goalkeeper David De Gea, who were injured while on international duty for Argentina<\/a> and Spain<\/a> respectively, are fit to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Defender Luke Shaw is doubtful, while fellow England international Michael Carrick is expected to be available.<\/p>\n

“Di Maria has trained today normally so I don’t think that is a question mark, but Shaw is,” Van Gaal added.<\/p>\n

“De Gea is good, no problem. I think with Michael Carrick I have to wait for the reaction in training, but I also expect he’s ready to play.”<\/p>\n

\"Daley<\/p>\n

Daley Blind tweeted a picture of his knee in a brace amid the confusion over his injury<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Van Gaal also reflected on Wayne Rooney’s 100th appearance for England in a Euro 2016 qualifying win over Slovenia.<\/p>\n

The England captain scored once in the 3-1 victory at Wembley, then followed that up with two goals in the 3-1 win over Scotland in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

“I have congratulated him but now he has to score for Manchester United,” said Van Gaal. “That’s also important.<\/p>\n

“Rooney is not a typical striker. Because of that it’s then remarkable when you score so much. For a manager, he’s a fantastic player.”<\/p>\n
