Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Nemanja Vidic, Gary Neville
and Louis Saha are all making good progress with their recovery
from injury, while Patrice Evra should be fit to face Middlesbrough
on Saturday.
The French left-back hobbled out of Tuesday's 2-0 win over
Sheffield United with a calf complaint after a heavy tackle by
Colin Kazim-Richards in the 21st minute.
Sir Alex says Evra has responded to treatment and will be available
for the Teessiders' visit, as will John O'Shea (calf) and Rio
Ferdinand (groin).
Elsewhere on the injury front, the United boss is hoping to have
Neville (ankle) available for United's trip to Everton on Saturday
week, while Vidic (collarbone) has a chance of returning to action
in two weeks time.
Sir Alex hasn't put an exact date on Saha's possible return from a
hamstring strain, but the boss insists things are looking much more
positive.
"The situation is getting better," he told Manchester United Radio.
"John O'Shea and Rio are back for Saturday and I think Patrice Evra
will also be okay.
"Gary won't be ready for Middlesbrough or Milan but will hopefully
be back for the Everton match. Vidic has been training and he could
be ready in two weeks, while Louis Saha is starting to progress a
bit now."
