Gary Neville who has been suffering a long term injury is due to make his first few tentative steps back to recovery with a run out for the reserves tonight against Newcastle reserves at St James Park. Neville has been in and out of the first team over the past two years with an injury situation that started way back with a broken ankle against Bolton Wanderers and has since struggled to regain full fitness. In the meantime, Wes Brown claimed the right back position as his own until he too was injured. That opened the door for Rafael who has been an absolute star given his age and his short time at the club.
Neville has made 22 appearances earlier this season but it was short lived his recovery, as problems flared up again for him in the shape of a groin injury.
If he comes through unscathed, the full-back could come into contention for Sunday's encounter with Aston Villa or the Champions League showdown with Porto 48 hours later given Wes Brown and Rafael da Silva are both injured and John O'Shea's recent performances have come in for heavy criticism.....Back To Home Page...
