Rooney Set To Return Against Hammers
Wayne Rooney missed Manchester United's 1-0 home win over Barcelona last night after aggravating a hip injury during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Chelsea.United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is keeping close tabs on Rooney's fitness over the next few days, but he said today of his striker: "He may have a chance for Saturday.
"We just cancelled him out [of the Barca game] yesterday, he was in a lot of pain.
"It was his hip joint, he was never close to playing. It was out of the question.
"He will be a lot better in a few days and involved on Saturday somewhere along the line."
Patrice Evra is also expected to recover from a knock received against Barcelona, but fellow defender Nemanja Vidic is a doubt. He suffered a facial injury in a collision with Chelsea striker Didier Drogba at Stamford Bridge, and Ferguson explained:
"Vidic is under the control of the doctor. He got a bit of concussion, so we have to be careful of that," said Ferguson. "He may have a chance for Saturday."
