Manchester United [ Images ] midfielder Phil Jones is a doubt for the first leg of the Champions League [ Images ] last 16 tie against Real Madrid [ Images ] on Wednesday after injuring his calf against Everton.
Jones, who was superb in shackling Everton dangerman Marouane Fellaini during Sunday's 2-0 victory, will be central to manager Alex Ferguson's [ Images ] plans for the Bernabeu [ Images ] clash.
However, he limped off early in the second half and Ferguson said they did not yet know the full extent of the problem.
"He got a kick in the calf and we'll have to monitor it," Ferguson told the club's website.
Central defender Jonny Evans [ Images ] also had to come off suffering with cramp but should be available for the Madrid match.
"I think he's just lacked a couple of games," Ferguson said.
"He only had 45 minutes for Northern Ireland in midweek. He had to travel to Malta for that. We'll see what he's like (Monday).
