According to reports in today’s Sun (yeah I know – but hear me out), Nemanja Vidic is on the verge of a return from injury and could well figure against Blackburn at the weekend.
Vidic has missed the last three games with a knee injury sustained against Roma in the Champions League but reportedly came through a training session yesterday. He is already being pencilled in for a recall to the side for the visit to visit Ewood Park. Any potential return for Vidic would cast doubt over the value of the likes of Pique and O’Shea who could both be on the radar for a few fantasy managers over the remaining games.
The Sun also report that Saha is close to a return and could well figure in some capacity at the weekend. Let’s face it though, Saha got injured walking from the dressing room to the pitch last time, so we won’t hold our breath on that one.
