Rooney fit, but Wes out for weeks
The good news for United ahead of Wednesday's crucial Champions League last 16 clash with AC Milan is that Wayne Rooney took part in training at Carrington on Tuesday morning, but unfortunately Wes Brown will be missing for the foreseeable future.
United's in-form front man missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers after a draining week of playing two matches on an energy-sapping Wembley pitch.
The 24-year-old played over an hour of United's 2-1 Carling Cup final victory over Aston Villa, and then, much to Sir Alex's annoyance, was used for almost the whole match in England's midweek friendly win against Egypt at the national stadium.
But Rooney joined the rest of his team-mates at United's training headquarters on Tuesday, and Sir Alex later confirmed at his press conference that the forward was fit to play in the game.
"He was extremely doubtful, but he's shown a rapid improvement since Saturday morning and he's okay," revealed the boss. "Unfortunately Wes has had a career blighted by long term injuries and he's got another one. He's broken a bone in his foot and will be out for four to six weeks. I hope we can get him back for some of the season."
There were 21 players being put through their paces at the Trafford Training Centre, although Mame Biram Diouf didn't take part in the full session, Michael Carrick is suspended for Wednesday's game and Ryan Giggs did only light jogging away from the main group.
Full training squad: Van der Sar, Kuszczak; Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Rafael, Evra, Neville, De Laet; Park, Scholes, Carrick, Obertan, Gibson, Valencia, Nani, Fletcher; Rooney, Berbatov, Diouf. |
