Alex Ferguson expects Louis Saha to be on the bench for tomorrow’s encounter with Sunderland at Old Trafford.
The French striker suffered an injury in training yesterday but Ferguson has played down fears Saha could be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, and believes he will be back in contention for a starting berth against Tottenham on Easter Monday.
Ferguson intends to recall Wes Brown against the Black Cats while Gabriel Heinze could be on the bench for the first time since rupturing cruciate ligaments in the Champions League clash with Villarreal in September.
Squad: Van der Sar, Howard, Neville, Ferdinand, Brown, Vidic, Silvestre, Heinze, Evra, Ronaldo, Giggs, O’Shea, Park, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Saha.
