SIR ALEX Ferguson has confirmed injured trio Gary Neville, Louis
Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will all miss Sunday's Community
Shield showdown with Chelsea at Wembley.
The players were absent from United's pre-season tour - Neville
with an ankle injury, Saha and Solskjaer because of knee
problems.
Ferguson expressed the hope in the Far East that all three might be
available this week.
However, not only will they sit out tomorrow's Old Trafford
friendly with Serie A title-winners Inter Milan, they will also
miss the Chelsea game and, possibly, the Premier League opener with
Reading on August 12 as well.
"Those lads are still not ready," said Ferguson.
"I think we are looking at a couple of weeks for the three of
them."
New signing Nani is also doubtful for tomorrow's encounter, while
Ferguson expects fellow summer buys Owen Hargreaves and Anderson to
feature against either Doncaster on Friday or Peterborough 24 hours
later.
