Neville set for reserve run-out
Related Articles
30 January 2009
Neville has endured an injury-plagued two years, which started with a broken ankle suffered against Bolton in March 2007.
The England defender thought het had put his problems behind him when he forced his way back into the United line-up earlier this season, making 22 appearances.
However, a groin injury kept Neville out for another couple of months and he only returned to duty a week ago when he was named on the bench by Sir Alex Ferguson for the ill-fated trip to Fulham.
After missing out on last season's Premier League and Champions League triumphs, Neville is keen to play a part in this season's run-in.
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.
