Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has confirmed that defender Raphael Varane will be ruled out until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Varane suffered the injury during the second half of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The 29-year-old lunged out with his right foot away from his body to try to stretch towards the ball and cut off the attack as Blues striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang raced forward.
