Man United given huge injury boost
Manchester United have today been given a huge injury boost with the news that stand-in captain Rio Ferdinand could take part in tomorrow night's Champions League game against Roma.
The England international limped off just past the hour mark in United's 2-2 draw away to Middlesbrough at the weekend, with fears that he had broken a metatarsal.
Those fears were quashed yesterday when United confirmed that the 29-year old had not broken a metatarsal.
It looked as though Alex Ferguson would be going into the game with Roma on Wednesday without his two star centre defenders in Nemanja Vidic and Ferdinand, but it now appears as though he will have Ferdinand at his disposal which is obviously great news for United fans.
"I am hoping Rio will play," said Ferguson. "His scan was clear, that was the important thing. Therefore we are hoping we can get him fit to face Roma. "We will report at 1100 on Wednesday, so he will have to do something at that time."
