Rio Ferdinand should be fit for Manchester United?s Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Arsenal next week, Sir Alex Ferguson revealed on Friday.
Ferdinand was substituted in the final minutes of the 1-0 first leg victory at Old Trafford amid fears he had broken a rib. The England defender left the field in visible pain and had to spend a night in hospital.
However, although he will miss United?s Premier League tie with Middlesbrough on Saturday, Ferguson is confident he will be back in United?s starting line-up for the decisive second match at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
Ferguson said: "We have assessed the situation and the good news is that there is nothing cracked or broken which is terrific news.
"There is some bruising which caused a bit of coughing of blood when it happened but nothing has happened since so hopefully we will be able to get him ready for Tuesday.
"When you see someone getting a crack in the rib area you fear the worst with that, particularly when he?s coughing blood, but that has passed over now.
"We just have to try and get him training by Sunday I think and hopefully he will be ready."
If Ferdinand remains unfit, Ferguson is still confident the United squad has enough strength in depth to absorb his loss and still be competitive in both the Premier League and Champions League.
