It was double blow for Manchester United as they lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but also lost their key striker Wayne Rooney during the game.
The England striker collapsed in agony, holding his right ankle after falling awkwardly after Mario Gomez appeared to tread on his left foot.
Rooney immediately signalled to the United bench that he had to come off the field.
Afterwards United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he thought it was a bad ankle sprain and he was likely to miss Saturday's showdown with title rivals Chelsea.
England manager Fabio Capello also faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of the injury.
England midfielder David Beckham has already been ruled out of this summer's tournament in South Africa with an ankle injury.
