Ferdinand back to fitness

09 October 2009 16:44
MANCHESTER United centre back Rio Ferdinand has declared himself fully fit ahead of England's clash with Ukraine. Ferdinand is back in Fabio Capello's squad after missing the last few England get togethers, and his progress with the Reds has been upset with a series of niggles. He said: 'It's been frustrating over the past few months having to miss games for my club and country and, to be able to be fit for selection, I'm delighted. My back hasn't been a problem since last season but the day before the season started I pulled my thigh. Touch wood my back's got a clean bill of health now, it's not a concern.'
