Pre Match Press
Conference Highlights |
|
 |
On SAF's absence
from the Pre-match press conference
"The manager has been
ill since coming back from Turkey," "He came down
with a virus yesterday.
He felt a little bit like that on the flight coming
back. "Yesterday he felt worse, so we have
kept him away from the club for a little while.
"It is related to the virus that has been going
around.
"It is one of those things that gets hold of you and
is hard to shake off but he will be at the game
tomorrow."
On Darren Fletcher
"Darren Fletcher is showing positive signs that he
could recover," said Phelan.
"We will have a look at him again this morning and
hopefully he will be available.
On Ryan Giggs
"Ryan has been back in training and has started his
preparation for the matches. Whether he will be
available for tomorrow we are not quite sure yet."
On Nani
"There is a possibility he could play against
Manchester City," said Phelan.
"Having reported in yesterday with the injury from
Tuesday night, he felt a lot better than we
expected, so we are going to progress him as quickly
as we can with a view to next week." |

?
"I celebrated my
birthday in the Lowry the day before the Tottenham
game. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else,"
he smiled.
"I did have a quiet meal in town on Saturday night
with some friends from Holland but I had two glasses
of wine and that was about it because we had a game
on Tuesday.
"Even this weekend it is going to be hard because we
have a midweek game against City. I will just have
to skip the celebrations for my 40th and do it
another time." |
