United manager Rafa Benitez was furious with Lansbury's antics in the Championship match.

But the 26-year-old will not be available for the return match at St James's Park on December 30.

Forest manager Philippe Montanier today revealed that Lansbury will be out for "several weeks" with a hamstring injury.
