Where art thou Gary ?

gambit28 · 1st April 2011, 11:51

Ando's fit.

Twigginater · 1st April 2011, 11:53

Rio fit in three games time. Evans back then. Rafael might be back soon. Anderson back.

But... where the fuck is Fletcher?

Suffering from some unknown illness. Lost loads of weight apparently.

Would be a massive boost to get Rio back for the Fulham game going into the Chelsea 2nd leg.

Fears over Manchester United star Darren Fletcher as he is floored by virus | Mail Online

Viper KGB · 1st April 2011, 11:58

Wtf

If it's serious Ando's imminent return is good timing but we really need Carrick to step up now with the influx of games ahead

Man-United · 1st April 2011, 12:00

So, who will move to RB when Fabio get tired or injured as he usually not play 90 min?

Fiskey · 1st April 2011, 12:29

Thought it was funny when he said Chelsea, Arsenal, Ourselves and Spurs could still win the title.

Pogue Mahone · 1st April 2011, 12:30

Fuck me. Didn't know Brown was injured. Who plays left wing for West Ham?

prateik · 1st April 2011, 12:35

no fletch or Hargo to cover at RB either

fit/available defenders : fabio,smalling,vidic,evra and noone on the bench
scary that

Gill will be on the bench again I would think.

gambit28 · 1st April 2011, 12:37

Rafael is training again but won't be fit for tomorrow.

Is there a chance for the mid-week chelsea game, might be pushing it a bit though.

prateik · 1st April 2011, 12:41

I guess Park can cover at FB if fabio cant last 90 minutes, or Valencia at RB.
Not ideal, but might just get through a game or two like that

I said it in the matchday thread, maybe Fergie expects to have at least one of Rafael, Brown or O'Shea back for the Chelsea game.

prateik · 1st April 2011, 12:45

Brown and Oshea will start training on Monday, so thats unlikely
Evans will be back for the CL match.

Fergie called the Hargo shoulder thing 'a huge setback'. I really feel for him.
Finally gets over the knee troubles, tears his hammy, makes a comeback and injures his fucking shoulder. How unlucky can a man get

Quote:

Darren Fletcher is still out with a virus which is a "bad one" but he's getting better and the manager expects him to be in next week

Be in next week? So training im guessing which isnt bad. Unless he means in to be checked out but could still be a fwe weeks away. Got the above from the united website btw.

Rio started training on Wednesday but won't be back for tomorrow. It's more likely he'll return against Fulham. Rafael started training yesterday but is out of the West Ham clash along with fellow right-back candidates Wes Brown and John O'Shea. Anderson, Park Ji-sung and Nemanja Vidic are all travelling and there were no new injuries from the internationals.

My point stands then, Rafael will probably be back for Wednesday.

Forward planning, Fergie's good at it.

Have they really got one? Obinna plays wide forward and Gary O'Neil is a winger, but right footed I think. Luis Boa Morte is there, but usually takes his place on the bench if he isn't injured (which he isn't at the moment).

I suspect Obinna would play in that area with a midfield three of Parker (if fit), Noble and Hitzlsperger.

Rory 7 · 1st April 2011, 13:14

the injuries really couldn't be coming at a worse time.
what a pain.

Bryan_Munich · 1st April 2011, 13:14

Really looking forward to seeing Fabio at RB.

On the contrary, the injuries actually came just before the international break which is as good a time as you can get them. If they'd just been suffered now we'd be fucked for the next few weeks, as it is we're expecting people back over the next week or so, which is good.

This. Have to be optomistic about something.

Instead of worrying about who'll be playing left wing for West Ham, we should probably let them do a little bit of worrying about our front four.

Saliph · 1st April 2011, 13:48

The gang is down to fight, yeah.

el eric · 1st April 2011, 13:49

I reckon there will be another Fergie Red Herring and we'll see one of Brown/Rafa/Rio in the squad for tomorrow

Decotron · 1st April 2011, 13:50

Cant remember the game right now but Fabio was excellent when played at right back before for us. His natural side aswell tbf...

R_Kelly · 1st April 2011, 14:04

He came on and played there against Marseille and I don't remember him doing anything wrong. I'm comfortable enough with him playing there, especially with Tonio in front of him.

MG · 1st April 2011, 14:06

Delighted Vidic is back, Rio back not too far away as well, great.

Loads of players coming back from injury in the next few games, the international break has done us well.

Personally I think Fabio at RB will be interesting. I hope that's a good interesting...

Obinna played there during the CC debacle but they might go with a 4-3-3 with Parker,Noble,Parker,Hitzl.. and Ba,Obinna,Cole up front...if Piqiounne's fit then they may go with 3 forwards.
Bridge will support on the left

Kelvin · 1st April 2011, 14:42

can't believe Brown also got injured, our defence is really stretched to the limit here. its very annoying.

TheMancRedDevil · 1st April 2011, 14:45

Since when has Fergie told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in Press Conferences when it comes to player availability?

I wouldn't be totally surprised if someone makes a "miraculous recovery" in time for tomorrow.

The defensive situation looks completely shagged if it's all true though.

BBC Sport - Rio Ferdinand could return from injury against Chelsea

Pogue Mahone · 1st April 2011, 21:32

Totally forgot about Park! Great to have him back. Good player for this type of game.

moses · 1st April 2011, 21:55

I would pay no heed to anything Fergies says about injuries and availability form here in, he's going to have to do some juggling between now and the end of the season and needs all he can muster in his favour. We can expect one or two more arsenal in the cup style selections I'd say. Guessing our team will be impossible for the oppo after that arsenal game and all the injuries.

Red Dreams · 1st April 2011, 22:24

you have to wonder if some of these "injuries" were brought on before the internationals

Kelvin · 5th April 2011, 11:33

Come on Fergie lay into all this journalists and the FA....
