Nemanja Vidic (suspended) will miss the game as will Wes
Brown (metatarsal) and Gary Neville (virus).
Both Jonny Evans (ankle) and John O’Shea (heel) will face
late fitness tests.
Inter also have major doubts with Defender Walter Samuel
(calf) and Italy's Marco Materazzi possibly absentees.
Patrick Viera (fitness) has only returned from a long injury
lay off & will miss out.
Without

Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
On the
injury front
"Obviously we have some injuries and we won't know until
Tuesday. "O'Shea did a light session on his own and Johnny
Evans didn't train. Everyone else who travelled trained,"
"With Gary Neville and Wes Brown injured and Nemanja Vidic
suspended for the game it is a worrying moment for us.
"I hope one will be OK, probably O'Shea. But that leaves us
with a problem at right-back, probably young Da Silva will
play.
"I wish we were in a better position tomorrow defensively in
terms of availability but that happens."
On the the tie overall
I'm sure Jose has seen us enough to know that we very seldom
go into a game not trying to win and that won't change
tomorrow," added Ferguson.
"We have the challenge of having to play in a stadium
tomorrow with such a fantastic crowd that will help the
players, I'm sure of that.
"We still have the opportunity to take Inter back to Old
Trafford with a good result. If we score an away goal it
will give us a great chance.
"You're always intent in Europe to get that goal that means
something really big when you get back to your own ground." |
