Rio Ferdinand could miss Manchester United's derby clash against Manchester City next weekend after suffering a calf injury at Molineux.

The England skipper pulled up in the warm-up and played no part in United's 2-1 defeat to Wolves, being replaced by Jonny Evans.

Ferdinand will also be unavailable for England's friendly against Denmark in midweek, and will be a doubt for the first leg of the Champions League clash with Marseille on February 23.

"He's done his calf in the warm-up, unfortunately," Ferguson told ESPN. "He'll be out for a couple of weeks I believe."
