Sir Alex Ferguson will give Darren Fletcher every chance to
prove his fitness for the Champions League final on 28 May.
The Scotland midfielder has only played 20 minutes over the last
couple of months because of a stomach virus that saw him lose more
than a stone in weight.
Although Fletcher returned briefly against Schalke in the
Champions League semi-final he is still some way off complete match
fitness.
But with three games, against Blackburn and Blackpool in the
Premier League and then Gary Neville's testimonial, before the
clash with Barcelona, Fletcher will get a chance to show he is
ready to feature at Wembley.
"Darren has put the weight back on and is back in training, but
he has a bit to do yet. But, as far as the final is concerned,
there is almost three weeks to achieve that," Ferguson said.
"If he does reach the target, it will be a big boost to us as we
all know he is big-game player.
"The 20 minutes he got against Schalke last week was certainly a
step forward. His training, in terms of sharpness for such an
important game, will be stepped up now."
