According to the Daily Mirror and reported on the United website today, Hargo (obviously) has to prove his fitness. That makes sense. I think maybe goal.com have jumped the gun a wee bit, maybe?
Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged Owen Hargreaves to prove his fitness and land a place on the flight to Milan in 12 days' time. Hargreaves is back in training at Carrington following surgery on both knees in December 2008 and January 2009. He is alternating between working with the first team and the reserves and Ferguson has told him he will take him to Italy for the Champions League showdown with AC Milan on February 16 if he complete a full week's training. Ferguson's words are massive encouragement for the injury-plagued England midfielder, who has not played since September 2008. The United boss said: "I would like to see him make the squad for the Champions League fixtures against AC Milan, but we won't rush him. We are being patient with the rehabilitation following his knee operations and he is alternating his training with the reserve and first-team squads, working for two days and then resting a day.”
