Kagawa concern for Fergie

Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa pulled out of Japan's home World Cup qualifier against Iraq an hour before kick-off. The Japan Football Association revealed that the playmaker felt a twinge in his lower back during training for the Group B qualifier in Saitama. Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni decided not to risk Kagawa, whose injury will also be a concern to United manager Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of the home game against Wigan Athletic on Saturday. The 23-year-old has made three appearances, scoring once, since his move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
