Neville suffers fresh setback
Sir Alex Ferguson will have no further injury worries ahead of
Derby County's but he has been hit with a major blow after it was
confirmed Gary Neville has suffered another injury setback.
The United skipper has not played in the first team since March
after damaging ankle ligaments against Bolton Wanderers at Old
Trafford.
It had been thought he was close to making his first-team return
against AS Roma on Wednesday. But that will not now be the case as
United wait anxiously for results from a specialist.
"Unfortunately, Gary has had another setback," the manager
confirmed at his Friday press conference. "It's very
disappointing.
"He went to see a specialist about his ankle injury on Thursday but
we have not had the results back yet."
Sir Alex maintains that Neville's injury problems are not career
threatening.
"It is not getting serious," he said. "He just keeps getting
niggling injuries. It is a concern that he gets small setbacks
every time he gets ready to play. We need to sort it out and get
him back as soon as possible."
