KO ... Phil Jones goes off injured
There were fears the United defender fractured a cheekbone after Fulham's Clint Dempsey caught him with his elbow.
Boss Alex Ferguson was unhappy at United's growing injury list, with Ashley Young also picking up a knock.
Fergie said: "It was an elbow from Dempsey but I don't think it was intentional. We'll send Jones for an X-ray but it doesn't look great."
England winger Young was crocked making a late tackle on Dickson Etuhu in the second half.
Fergie added: "Fulham were very aggressive in the second half and Young has paid the price for that. He will be out for two to three weeks."
Rio Ferdinand also sat out last night's clash.
And the United chief said: "We had to make changes when Phil Jones was injured but with Rio missing the players stood up to it.
"Rio got a knock on the foot on Sunday at QPR but he should be available for Blackburn on New Year's Eve."
