The England striker has been ruled out for two or three weeks with an ankle injury similar to the one he picked up in the first leg of last season's Champions League quarter-final with Bayern Munich.
Rooney returned within eight days of that and his manager is hoping he will make another speedy recovery.
The sharpshooter has scored just once for United since then, and he will not have the chance to do so again until at least 16th October after Ferguson confirmed Rooney faces a "two-to-three-week" spell on the sidelines with the injury he suffered at Bolton Wanderers on Sunday.
At the far edge of that timescale, Rooney would miss a Champions League meeting with Bursaspor and, potentially, the trip to Stoke City on 24th October.
