Good news on the Giggs front...Fergie stating that he should be back to training next week and hopeful for a Milan return
Giggs could tackle Milan
United boss hints at return for veteran midfielder
Ryan Giggs could be available for the UEFA Champions League second leg against AC Milan next month, according to Sir Alex Ferguson.
The 36-year-old has been unavailable since fracturing his arm in the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa earlier this month.
Despite being predicted to be out for over four weeks when the injury was sustained, Ferguson was positive about the veteran Welshman's chances of playing in the second leg of the last 16 tie at Old Trafford, which United lead 3-2 on aggregate.
"Ryan still has the injury to his arm," said the United boss.
"But we are taking the plate out at the end of the week and he will be in full training after that, which is good news."
The news will come as a welcome boost to Ferguson after receiving confirmation that Brazilian midfielder Anderson will be out for the rest of the season after rupturing his cruciate ligament
If, as the United boss predicts, Giggs does make his return for the visit of Milan, he will also be available for the visits of Fulham and Liverpool to Old Trafford as United push for the Premier League title.
