**Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has confirmed Carlos Baleba is set to be sidelined for a number of weeks through injury.**
Baleba will remain out beyond the upcoming international break, with Carrick saying United are still waiting to establish an exact timeframe for his return after [he was forced off against Roma](https://hayters.com/carrick-hails-man-utd-supporters-after-long-awaited-win-and-gives-update-on-baleba-injury-worry/).
“Carlos, we don’t know exactly, but it will be a number of weeks,” Carrick said.
“It won’t be any time over the international break. It will be a bit longer than that.”
Carrick also provided an update on Patrick Dorgu, who has started to make a gradual return to training after his recent hamstring problem.
“Patrick has done a little bit of training this week. Very, very small,” Carrick said.
“We have got to be patient with Pat.
“He has had a good period of time now, a couple of hamstrings that we have to manage and be patient with that over the next couple of weeks.”
Dorgu could yet be involved this weekend, although Carrick says a late decision will be made.
“He is slowly getting back with us, so we will have to see if he can be involved with us at the weekend or not.”
