The Northern Ireland international defender suffered a hamstring injury in training last Saturday and missed the victories over Liverpool and West Ham.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson had hoped that Evans would be fit to return at White Hart Lane, but now seems likely to keep Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, who were paired in the centre of defence against Liverpool, together again.

"Jonny Evans still isn't available," he said. "He's not 100%. Other than that, we're not too bad. We gave a lot of players a game on Wednesday and I thought they did well.
