United rocked by Neville blow
23/09/2005 - 12:33:34Manchester United defender Gary Neville has been ruled out of action for a minimum of six weeks after undergoing groin surgery.
Neville’s absence leaves a huge hole in the United squad already lacking skipper Roy Keane and Argentina full-back Gabriel Heinze for extended periods.
Wes Brown and Quinton Fortune are also out, so John O’Shea and Kieran Richardson will occupy the full-back roles tomorrow against Blackburn.
Squad: Van der Sar, Howard, O’Shea, Bardsley, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Pique, Richardson, Fletcher, Scholes, Smith, Miller, Ronaldo, Giggs, Park, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Rossi.
