A new update in the CL press conference:
The Reds are not placing a timeframe on the return of Owen Hargreaves after a 14-month spell on the sidelines, but Sir Alex Ferguson says he hopes to have the midfielder in full training and available for selection "sooner rather than later".
Hargreaves trained away from the rest of the group again on Tuesday morning - doing running with one of United's physiotherapists - but he is making progress. He was also kicking a ball seemingly comfortably at Carrington this week.
Having come so far in his rehabilitation from a tendonitis problem that forced him to undergo two operations in America in the last year, Sir Alex will not rush the final few steps in the 28-year-old's recovery.
"It’s difficult to say [when he'll be back]," he said. "I have not got an answer to that one.
"He is doing plenty of work with the physios and he is doing a lot of football work. But I think it comes down to a confidence thing and knowing that he is ready to come back with our players. Hopefully that is sooner rather than later."
