Premier League - Ferdinand to see specialist

Eurosport - Sun, 11 Jan 22:12:00 2009

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand will visit a specialist on Monday after he was ruled out of his side's home Premier League clash with Chelsea because of a recurring back injury.

2008-2009 Rio Ferdinand - 0

The England international had been declared fit in the buildup to the game but manager Alex Ferguson said he had suffered a muscle spasm.

"Rio trained all week without a problem but woke up this morning with another spasm so we're going to send him to another specialist tomorrow because it's becoming a problem for us," Ferguson told Sky Sports.

Ferdinand has missed United's last four matches.

  5. same United. Always cheating! you certainly arent the best in Europe, you fluked the champions league in penalties. dont deny what benitez said because it is true, and at last someone has had the balls to say it.

  10. marieodonovan, Benitez clearly has a problem judging life around him, so don't be surprised if next game he plays Carragher in the midfield

  16. To ayajulmalik if man utd draw today and win there next two games it does not put them top of the table. They would still be one point behind Liverpool,
    , who stuffed up yesterday but the season isn't decided on one game and i still believe they can win the title if benitez would stop playing people like benayoun when theres people like torres and keane on the bench. why pay that much for robbie keane if he was going to leave him on the bench is uncomprehendable!
