It looks like we are going to have a massive injury boost for the Champion's League final, Rio Ferdinand is set to declare himself fit for the match. Saying that, SkySportsNews were showing some statistics yesterday and apparently Man United are better in the Champion's League without Ferdinand.
Ferdinand told FIFA.com, "I've not thought about not playing in the final. It's as simple as that, no chance. I trained with the ball today [Wednesday] and did some running, so I'm doing all the movements I need to be doing before a game.
"This has been perhaps the hardest and most important injury battle of my career. There is so much at stake. I haven't even thought much about the actual details of the final. I've been so engrossed in my injury that I haven't thought about much else. I'll start thinking about the actual match when I'm sitting on the plane to Rome."
"You'll have to ask the manager if I'm playing, but physically I'd be able to do it, no problem".
Sir Alex Ferguson did say yesterday that Ferdinand has to play on Sunday against Hull if he wants to start against Barcelona on the following Wednesday.
