Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung is set to be out of action for at least another two weeks.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that Park needs more time as he battles to recuperate from injury.
``We are having a little issue with Park Ji-sung at the moment. His fitness has been poor since he came back from Korea,'' Ferguson told Goal.com, an online football magazine.
South Korea national team captain Park played the 90 minutes in a friendly against Senegal on Oct. 14, but he has missed nine consecutive games since, including Saturday's match against Blackburn.
``He had no problem with the game but traveling back has given him a swollen knee, which we don't quite understand so there are some issues with that. He could be out for a couple more weeks yet which is a blow,'' added Ferguson.
Ferguson said Park will not be in the squad for the Champions League fixture against CSKA Moscow at home on Nov. 4.
Meanwhile, Korea national team manager Huh Jung-moo called up 11 overseas players including Park for a Nov. 10 friendly in Europe.
Korea is scheduled to play two friendly matches ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa against Denmark on Nov. 15, and Serbia on Nov 18.
