Giggs boost for Fergie
Giggs Hamstring Fears Allayed
Ryan Giggs should be back in training in 10 days time, Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed.
The Welsh veteran limped out of United's Carling Cup semi-final win over Blackburn on Wednesday, raising fears that he would become the latest victim of the injury jinx that has decimated Sir Alex Ferguson's midfield.
However, Sir Alex revealed at his weekly press conference: "It's nothing long term. Ryan's hamstring just felt a bit tight against Blackburn. He should be back in about 10 days."
Patrice Evra was also withdrawn from the action against Mark Hughes' side with a slight groin problem, but Sir Alex expects his new signing to be available for this weekend's FA Cup trip to Wolves.
"The Scot also received a timely boost as both Ji-sung Park and Cristiano Ronaldo are set to be available for the Molineux clash - Park after recovering from medial knee ligament damage and Ronaldo after completing a three-game ban.
"They give us good options," explained the Boss. "I'll have to assess what's the best side to play.
"I've got to think about bringing freshness into the team because we travel to Blackburn next Wednesday and then play Fulham the following Saturday.
The name of the game is to be in the hat for the next round and that's what we'll be aiming to do."
Sir Alex is not expecting an easy ride against the four-time FA Cup winners who are unbeaten in their last five League and Cup games.
"They're very strong defensively," said Fergie who was a regular visitor to Molineux when his son Darren was on the Wolves books.
"Reading and Sheffield United look like being the two who will go up, but Wolves are in a good position to challenge for the play-offs."
Aside from being the sixth FA Cup meeting between the two clubs, the match will also pair ex-United midfielder Paul Ince will his old club.
"I'll have a quiet word with Incey!" joked Fergie who recently met up with Ince at a charity event. "He's a really good character who won't be fazed by Sunday's game. Others may be but he won't." |
