Sir Alex Ferguson confirms Robin Van Persie fit and He\u00a0will play in the Wigan and champions league against Galatasaray.<\/h1>\n

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed there are no new injury concerns ahead of the visit of Wigan, with Robin van Persieand Shinji Kagawa both available for selection.<\/p>\n

Kagawa had been a doubt with a back problem after opting to sit out of Japan\u2019s 1-0 win over Iraq in midweek and was not expected to be risked this weekend after having scans, but the midfielder appears to have won his fitness race.<\/p>\n

Van Persie too was a doubt due to being withdrawn at half-time of Netherlands\u2019 World Cup qualifier against Hungary, however Sir Alex said that he has a full squad to pick from, except those already ruled out.<\/p>\n

Speaking about injuries to United\u2019s official website, Ferguson said: “On the injury front, everyone’s fit, apart from the ones we know about – Jones and Smalling.<\/p>\n

\u201cJones was a bad blow for us. He got an injury in training last weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’ll be out for 8-10 weeks. We expect Smalling to be back training inside a month. But with Jonny Evans now back we’re in better shape at centre-back than we were a couple of weeks ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several players, including Kagawa, have returned to United after travelling long distances, but Ferguson is hopeful they will all be fine for the match.<\/p>\n

He continued: “You always have concerns about players travelling [long distances] in international breaks – we had Chicharito [Javier Hernandez], [Antonio] Valencia and Kagawa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey’ve all done it before, although with Shinji we don’t know exactly how he reacts to travelling back from long distances. Hopefully he’ll be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another player who will be available to play in Darren Fletcher who has not played a competitive match for United since December due to a chronic bowel condition, but after several appearances for the Under-21s and increased activity in training, Ferguson has named him in the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cDarren’s training well and played in the Reserves on Monday night,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe next step is when we can involve him in a game in the first team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s in the squad tomorrow, simply because I think it will give him a boost. It’s a chance to progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this moment in time everything’s going fine for him. We understand the condition he has to deal with – that can change but hopefully he’s managed to conquer it in terms of his diet and how he handles it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are going well at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
