Manchester United midfielder Anderson is making
steady progress in recovering from his ankle injury but is unsure
when he will make his return.
The Brazilian had to be carried off the field after the
final whistle of the Carling Cup semi-final against Derby last
month and, although X-rays confirmed there was no break, he did
suffer ligament damage that has prevented him from
training.
He is continuing rehabilitation work in the gym but seems
unlikely to be involved in either leg of the Champions League
encounter with Inter Milan.
"Anderson is coming along slowly," confirmed assistant manager
Mike Phelan.
"He is working with the medical team at the moment and will
start on the conditioning side next week.
"He is making the progress that we expect him to make, it is
just a question of how quickly that comes on once he gets out onto
the training pitch.
"We haven't put a timescale on it because he is working more
inside than out. Once we get him onto the grass we will find out
how long."
