No Final return for Saha
16 May 2007 - 10:30:08
Manchester United striker Louis Saha has been ruled out of Saturday's FA Cup Final against Chelsea because of a knee injury and joins Gary Neville on the sidelines.
The 28-year-old Frenchman's season has been dogged by knee and hamstring problems and he has not started a Premiership match since mid-February.
He came on as a substitute in this month's Champions League semi-final defeat to AC Milan but suffered a recurrence of his knee injury.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told the club's official website: "Louis is out.
"He picked up the knee injury in Milan and we did another scan on Monday to identify the problem more clearly."
Saha has scored 37 goals in 66 starts and 34 appearances from the substitute's bench for United following his £12.8milion transfer from Fulham in January 2004.
