English Premier News :: Vidic doubtful for Chelsea match

Posted on 2008-04-25 by Gooner

Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic is doubtful for the crunch Premier League title race clash with Chelsea on Saturday because of a stomach virus.

Vidic visited a hospital with the problem on Tuesday and missed the 0-0 draw with Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

"Nemanja went 24, 36 hours without eating," said United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. "I don't think he'll be ready for Saturday - that's the situation.

Ferguson said after the Barcelona match: "He's back at the hotel taking plenty of fluids and had some soup this afternoon.

"That's promising, so let's hope we can get him there on Saturday. He will be desperate to play and if we do get him there it will be a bonus to us."
