Manchester United’s Anderson has been ruled out for another month, following a recurring injury which had seen him miss out on most of the current season.
The Brazilian play maker made the move to Old Trafford from Porto in 2007, but ever since his move to the team, the player has had his fair share of problems with injuries.
This season, the midfielder has gone on to sit out most of the Red Devils campaign and has managed to make only sixteen appearances for the team.
Anderson was expected to be back in action against Athletic Bilbao, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has now gone on to reveal that his hamstring just isn’t recovering as expected and that he would be out of action for another four to five weeks.
When talking about the Brazilian and his recurring injury, Ferguson is quoted to have said: "Anderson could be out for four or five weeks due to his hamstring"
"Some hamstrings are relatively straightforward but we have to wait and see how he is in the next week or so to get a better idea of where we stand with him [in terms of recovery]."
The Red Devils boss then went on to admit that the upcoming game against Bilbao was going to be a real test for his team and just what they were capable of.
"It's a difficult tie for us," he added. "Bilbao have a tremendous advantage after winning at Old Trafford. It's a challenge but not one that is beyond us.”
"Our record away from home helps us - we've done very well. We're going to need a good performance."
United are currently sitting on top of the Premier League table and seem to be more than capable of beating just about any team on their day.
The team now needs to focus all their efforts on their upcoming game against Bilbao, as they need to beat their Spanish rivals, or they could risk falling out of two European contests in the same season.
Nonetheless, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 in his midfield, as he hopes for their experience to help the team overcome the test that lays ahead of them.
