Manchester United manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is worrying about the injuries that his key players have, as he hopes for them to return to face Chelsea.
Luis Nani and Wayne Rooney went on to miss out on the last two games that Manchester United face, as the duo are yet to recover from minor knocks that they picked up.
During their absence, United lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the FA Cup, but managed to beat Stoke City last night.
Despite there not being any official assessment on the duo’s return, Ferguson is rather hopeful that the two can return for the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, while admitting Ashley Young could also be fit in time for the game.
The manager when talking about the possibility of the three players returning is reported to have stated: "We're hopeful http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 and possibly Ashley Young will be fit for Sunday.”
The Red Devils manager also took this opportunity to talk about the injuries to his two keepers and then revealed just why Ben Amos had to start for the side against Stoke.
Ferguson then went on to reveal: "Anders got injured in training and then http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 got injured at the end of training, so we had a right nightmare there.”
However, the manager was quite happy with the way Amos played in the game and feels the keeper did just enough to maintain his stance as being a future successor for the number one spot at the club.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Amos-c7439 didn't have a lot to do but he was confident and he was composed. I'm pleased with that."
Despite Rooney and Nani not being fit to face Stoke, the team managed to do just enough to beat their opponents by two goals to nil.
However, things won’t be as simple against Chelsea. The Blues and the Red Devils are both going to be looking to get all three points in the game and hence both the teams will be hopeful that their entire first team is fit for the game.
Nonetheless, it is now a wait to see just what players manage to be fit and ready to participate in the game.
