Not having Park is a big blow, but if there's any consolation (and I thought I would NEVER say this) Fletcher has been playing well in a variety of roles so having him on the wing can work if we have no other choice...or O'Shea for that matter.

Sir Alex is hopeful that Rio Ferdinand will be fit to face AC Milan in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at the San Siro.
The Reds defender hobbled out of United's 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough last weekend after aggravating a groin injury, but he is making good progress with his rehabilitation and has a good chance of facing the Rossoneri.
Ferdinand's central defensive partner Nemanja Vidic will go for a scan on Monday to see how his broken collarbone is progressing. His chances of making the Milan match are minimal, but, all being well, he may make the short Premiership trip to Manchester City next Saturday.
"Nemanja has been training really well," said the United boss. "He has a scan on Monday and once we get the results of that, we have a decision to make."
United skipper Gary Neville is seemingly no nearer to a return. He suffered swelling in his ankle last week. Nevertheless, Sir Alex remains hopeful that he will play again this season.

Read the post Suffix put up redarmy, it mentions Nev's situation.  I was really hoping to have Nev back sooner rather than later, but if we can get Vida and Rio then we'll be in good shape. Though the defending hasn't been the best without them we've still managed to keep our winning ways so no sense whining about it; makes more sense to give credit to the players who are trying hard to keep things going well at the back. ;D |

Hopefully, 2 out of the three will play and news will be kept quiet until wednesday. Could give us a pschological edge if they hear they are playing. Either way play or not, best to keep team news quiet so they cannot plan their tactics. With the game being importantany little thing that helps.........  Roll on Wednesday, what ever the team they'll do us proud. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

"It is too early to say whether they will play," said the Scot. "They will travel and we will assess the situation after training."
With Patrice Evra suspended, the odds are at least one of them will play, allowing Gabriel Heinze to switch into his favoured left-back role.
Louis Saha could be on the bench despite his recent hamstring problems although the absence of Gary Neville will only fuel speculation the United skipper's ankle injury will rule him out for the season.
Heinze, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Scholes - who famously missed the 1999 Champions League final - are one caution away from a ban, although Ferguson will hope the trio remain fully focused on steering United to what would be only their third European Cup final.

From sky sports
Manchester United defender Gary Neville says he hopes to be fit for the start of the new season.
The England international missed the Premier League run-in and the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea after damaging his ankle in March.
He underwent surgery in May and has been training hard in an effort to be ready for the opening game of the new season against Reading at Old Trafford on 12th August.
"I had an operation on my ankle about five to six weeks ago," said the United skipper.
"I have been training really hard and feeling really strong and hoping I am fit for the start of the season because I am longing to play."
Meanwhile, Neville claimed United's title rivals underestimated Sir Alex Ferguson's side last season.
"Nobody thought Manchester United would win the Premier League last season," he added.
"But they underestimated us. They underestimated the knowledge and class of our manager.
"For two to three years we had been in suffering. At the start of the season we added Michael Carrick to our squad and lost Ruud van Nistelrooy. But Chelsea added Andrei Shevchenko and Michael Ballack.
"But the manager knew what he was doing over a period of two years in building a new team and now we are in a fantastic position.
"Last season we played the best football, the most attacking and entertaining football - and we deserved to win the trophy.
"I don't think a United fan could ever be as excited about the players, the team and about the way the club is, as today."
