Champions League News :: Rio Ferdinand likely to start for Manchester United against Porto

Posted on 2009-04-13 by Gooner

Rio Ferdinand is likely to be declared fit for Manchester United's must-win Champions League tie with Porto.

Ferdinand, who has missed United's last three games with a groin problem, is ready to reclaim his starting place for Wednesday's decisive return leg.

Ferdinand could have played in United's 2-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday, but it was decided not to take the risk to ensure he is fit for Wednesday.

Ferdinand has been included in United's travelling party that leaves for Porto tomorrow and is ready to resume his successful central defensive partnership with Nemanja Vidic.

A source close to United rated the 30-year-old's chances as "80-20" to start on Wednesday and said the defender was willing to undergo pain-killing injections to play.
