Manchester United's Portuguese midfielder Nani could miss the start of the Premier League season after dislocating his shoulder during the Community Shield against Chelsea at Wembley.
Nani, who scored the opening goal in the Wembley showpiece that ended 2-2 before Chelsea won on penalties, left the field in obvious pain after 60 minutes clutching his arm and was replaced by new signing Antonio Valencia.
"He has dislocated his shoulder and the worrying thing was is that we couldn't put it back in straight away," United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said, without confirming how long Nani would be out for.
"He will definitely not play for Portugal in the week."
I guess one shouldn't bet against Valencia and Park on the wings against Birmingham and Burnley this upcoming match-week.
