England defender Rio Ferdinand could yet feature for Manchester United in their Champions League clash with Inter Milan at Old Trafford here Wednesday.
The centre-back had been doubtful for the second leg of the holders’ last 16 clash against the Italian giants, goalless after he opening leg in Milan, having limped out of Saturday’s FA Cup win against Fulham with an ankle injury.
However, he took part in training on Tuesday and, provided he suffers no adverse reaction, Ferdinand is set to partner Nemanja Vidic as United look to reach the last eight of Europe’s premier club competition and so keep alive their bid to win five major trophies in the one season.
Long-term absentees Gary Neville and Wes Brown remain unavailable as does Rafael da Silva but otherwise United manager Sir Alex Ferguson can pick from a full squad.
