Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
"A
quarter-final tie against Arsenal is always an
exciting game. "It is an opportunity to get to the
semi-final, so we will be doing our best and we will
play our best available team." |
|
|
ON Nani
"We have managed to stitch the injury, which is good
news," "We need to guard against infection and
swelling.
"It is difficult to say exactly when he will be
ready to return but we won't get him back for the
Bolton match next Saturday." |
|
|
ON Valencia
"Antonio is difficult to assess because he has been
out for such a long time," said Ferguson. "He
has been training very well and is taking part in a
few practice matches between the players.
"It is deciding when we can put him into the cut and
thrust of a game. There is a question mark over the
timing but at some point, we are going to have to
try it.
"It won't be tomorrow. Hopefully it will be quite
soon. |
