Wayne Rooney remains a doubt for Manchester United's Barclays Premier League trip to Liverpool on Sunday.
The striker has been out with a calf injury since England's World Cup qualifier in Ukraine a fortnight ago.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful the former Everton star will be fit to feature on Merseyside but admits it is far from certain.
Veteran Ryan Giggs is poised to return after suffering a knock in last week's defeat of Bolton and Patrice Evra has overcome a heel problem.
Darren Fletcher (groin) is another doubt while Park Ji-Sung (knee) is set for a couple of weeks on the sidelines.

Real Madrid want Gerrard, Barcelona want Mascherano, when these two leave, which they will, Torres and Reina will follow. Liverpool's lack of strength in depth will be evident. Out of the Champions League for the next two seasons already, the lure of the world’s top players going to Anfield will quickly diminish, especially as there is little money available anyway. When this happens Liverpool will struggle to maintain a place at the top table with the resurgence of Man City, Spurs and the Villa all looking to take that fourth Champions League place. These are dangerous days for Liverpool, this season is make or break, the match against Man United on Sunday will be the decisive moment in Liverpool’s season. You just know Owen will score, probably late on with United already one up and Liverpool chasing the game, little Michael Owen will settle it. Carry On Screaming! Yak! yak! yak!
