Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed Rio Ferdinand could be recalled for Manchester United's trip to Tottenham Hotspur but John O'Shea has been ruled out.
Ferdinand has been sidelined for a month with a thigh injury and missed England's friendly against Slovenia and the World Cup qualifier against Croatia on Wednesday night.
But the 30-year-old is in contention for the Barclays Premier League clash against Harry Redknapp's Spurs at White Hart Lane on Saturday evening.
Ferguson said: 'Rio has been in training this week and has a got a chance for Saturday, I'm not sure how big a chance but he has got a chance.
'I don't know if there's any injuries with the players coming back from games but I think the England players are all right.'
O'Shea is missing after suffering a calf injury on duty with the Republic of Ireland.
Ireland's coach Giovanni Trapattoni had warned that O'Shea could be ruled out for a couple of months if he is rushed back into action too soon.
Ferguson said: 'O'Shea has not trained - he came back with a calf injury from Ireland's game in Cyprus and is doubtful for Saturday so we will see what he's like.'
