Saha ruled out of Kiev trip

21 January 2007
The injury-plagued French striker was hoping to make the trip to the Ukraine despite missing Saturday's 4-1 at Aston Villa with a long-term knee problem, however Saha was not the Red Devils' travelling party which headed out to the Ukraine on Sunday, raising fresh doubts over his long-term fitness.
England duo Gary Neville and Owen Hargreaves were also missing but Serbian defender Nemanja Vidic - who sat out the Villa Park win - was in the squad, even though Sir Alex Ferguson remains unconvinced the former Spartak Moscow player will be available after suffering concussion before the international break.
Ferguson said after the Villa Park win: "Vidic is a doubt for Tuesday. He trained on Friday but he is still feeling some reaction to the knock he got against Wigan.
"In that situation you can't take a chance. I'm hopeful he will be ready. We will see how he is. He will be close but I'm not so sure he will be ready to play in Kiev."
If Vidic is ruled out then Wes Brown is likely to partner Rio Ferdinand at the heart of the United back four.
