So what are the words that Man United fans have been waiting for? They are- Injury Situation Eases.

Over the past few weeks United have had more and more injuries especially in defence but after the return of Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Ji-Sung Park last night, Sir Alex has confirmed two more players will be back for the game against Everton on Saturday.

The two players expected to return are- Patrice Evra and Luis Nani.

Sir Alex said on MUTV:

"Things are looking up and players are starting to come back,"

"Patrice may have a chance for Saturday against Everton. If the game had still been on Monday I’d say he’ll definitely play. But he’s still got a chance of making it.

"Nani should also be fit for Saturday as well. The ones still unavailable are Jonny Evans, Rafael and Fabio, and Anderson.

"The manager didn't provide an update on the fitness of Wayne Rooney's hamstring strain, but he did say at the weekend that the Reds striker would not be rushed back.

“Wayne has never had a hamstring injury before and there is no way we will bring him back early,”

“He's doing terrific work in the gym and, in terms of his rehabilitation, he is on the mend. But we said at the time he was injured that it would be three or four weeks before he would be fit and there is no change there.”
