Preparations for Saturday's Derby vs. City


Sir Alex Ferguson will have his fingers crossed so he can avoid a defensive crisis in international week in the run up to Saturday’s Old Trafford derby against City.

The Reds boss has already lost Rio Ferdinand, who suffered a calf injury in the warm-up before United’s match at Wolves on Saturday. Yet, Chris Smalling will do.

Some of the international calls for this week are :
-Rafael and Anderson who are called with the Brazil squad in Paris to play France on Wednesday.
-Captain Nemanja Vidic is away with Serbia to play Israel in Tel Aviv and that will also cause Fergie some concern.
-Rooney will be in Denmark with England.
-Javier Hernandez has got a long-haul trip to be with Mexico in Atlanta to play their friendly against Bosnia.

Sir Alex will hopefully have a full squad on call to face City as the Reds look to bounce back from the shock 2-1 defeat at Wolves on Saturday that demolished their attempts to set a club record of 30 matches unbeaten in the Premier League.

So, hopefully Manchester United should be ready for Saturday's game vs. City at Old Trafford.
