Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admitted he was scared that Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be out for some time after he was injured against Tottenham Hotspur but said the in-form Armenian could return by Christmas.
Mkhitaryan netted the only goal as United beat Spurs 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday, but he had to be stretchered off after a Danny Rose challenge five minutes from time.
According to ESPN FC's Mark Ogden, the former Borussia Dortmund playmaker is expected to miss only two weeks with an ankle injury.
