Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will miss Thursday's Europa League match against Ajaxwith a throat infection.
The Red Devils secured a 2-0 win against the Dutch outfit at the Amsterdam ArenA last week, a game in which the 26-year-old played the full 90 minutes.
Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that the England star will recover in time to feature at Carrow Road on Sunday for his side's trip to Norwich City.
"Rooney's out for tomorrow. He has a bad throat," the Scot told reporters.
"There were traces of it in Amsterdam last Thursday and he's been in bed for a lot of the weekend."
Rooney had picked up an assist for Javier Hernandez's second goal in the first leg of the club's round of 32 clash.
