Heinze return boosts United
http://www.manutd.com/default.sp ... d=364289&page=1
Gabriel Heinze could be back for United next week as he nears the end of his rehabilitation following a year out with a knee ligament injury.
The 28-year-old defender, who has been building up the muscles in his leg following the injury, made his last competive United appearance more than a year ago against Villarreal in the Champions League.
He was involved in the pre-season friendlies against Oxford and Sevilla and played for Argentina in the World Cup, but Sir Alex Ferguson has so far resisted the temptation to play the all-action full-back this season.
United were hit with two injury blows last week as Ryan Giggs is expected to miss at least two more weeks, while Ji-sung Park underwent a successful operation on an ankle ligament injury last Thursday that will rule him out until December. But, with Heinze, Nemanja Vidic and Alan Smith all soon set to make comebacks, it isn’t all bad news for the Reds.
Gabby, who started full training last week, is expected to return in inside the next two weeks. United’s next fixture is against Reading on Saturday, but it is more likely Heinze will play some part against either Benfica in the Champions League next Tuesday or the following Sunday in the Premiership against Newcastle.
Smith, who broke his leg in the FA Cup tie against Liverpool in February, is also closing on a return for the Reds, but Sir Alex’s main task has been keeping hold of the leash on the fiery forward.
“Alan is not 100% yet,” he said. “But his mobility is gradually coming back and the strength in his calf muscles is getting stronger. He is on the right way.
“I’ve seen him quoted saying he’s ready for the first team, and that’s the enthusiasm we’ve come to expect of him. Alan would play for us with a broken leg, but we take the more sensible view and make sure he is fully recovered before he comes back in.”
Vidic is the closest to a return and was an unused substitute against Arsenal on Sunday. The Serbia defender fractured his wrist a month ago and has been unable to play since.
“Vida had a lightweight cast put on his arm last week which allows him to play,” explained Sir Alex. “That’s good news for us and for him. He is champing at the bit to get back playing.” |
