The injury that Manchester United's Bulgarian  forward Dimitar Berbatov picked up during his team's unfortunate game against Crystal Palace on Wednesday is not as grave as initially believed, Sir Alex Ferguson has announced.

"Berbatov's injury isn't serious," Ferguson  has said, as cited by the Red Devils' official website.

"He got injured the week before. We've been getting a few injuries but it happens. At the moment, we're going through a spell where we're getting a few a week but we have to get on with it."

Berbatov is to miss this weekend's match at Aston Villa due to the ankle injury he sustained against the Eagles, but he is not expected to be away for a longer period.

The Bulgarian striker still struggles to find his way back into Manchester United's starting 11, as he faces tough competition from the likes of Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.
