Manchester United U23 coach Neil Wood is confident Anthony Elanga will return to his best.
Elanga has suffered a collarbone injury in the defeat against Leicester.
Wood expects him to miss the few games including the clash against Liverpool today.
He said: "It was a shame as I think it was a heavy tackle on Anthony and, up until that point, he was playing really well.
“I said to him at half-time it looked like he was playing professionally, moving the ball quick, playing inside, linking up and running in behind. He was looking a big threat for us and on top of his game but it was disappointing for him. He's got an upper-body injury and is going to miss the next few games.
“Obviously, he's disappointed as he felt in a good place and wanted to come back after the Christmas break and hit the ground running but, unfortunately, it's stopped him in his tracks a little bit.
“He'll be back. He'll do the rehabilitation right and be back before we know it."
