Manchester United defender Wes Brown will be out for four to six weeks and could yet make Fabio Capello's England squad for this summer's World Cup.
There were initial fears that Brown would not be able to recover sufficiently prior to the tournament, but his club manager confirmed today that he could well return to action before the end of the season.
The right-back, who can also deputise in the heart of defence, was regarded to be a rival to Glen Johnson's right-back position in the England side.
"It's unfortunate that he's had a career that's been blighted with injury," Ferguson told a press conference on Tuesday.
"Long term injuries, unfortunately for the lad, and he's got another one and he'll be out for four to six weeks.
"I hope that we can get him back for some of this season, but that's the situation for him."

So that's all from me tonight, thanks for joining me for what was quite a memorable evening in the Champions League.

We've heard from all the big players from tonight's games as Milan and Zenit record first leg victories.
For Milan progression to next round seems inevitable after they thumped Arsenal 4-0 at the San Siro.
However things are very different for Zenith, and despite their win you may actually make Benfica favourites given they scored two away goals in Russia.

All this focus on the Arsenal and Milan game should not take away from another cracker earlier tonight between Zenit and Benfica. The Russians came from a goal down to lead 2-1 in the closing minutes before Oscar Cardozo levelled things for Benfica, but it wasn't over there as Roman Shirokov won the game for Zenit in the 88th minute.
Here's the thoughts of Benfica coach Jorge Jesus who felt his side deserved a point from the game

Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny bemoaned his side's luck tonight but refused to give up. Here's some of his quotes, the full story is here.
"They were the better team on the night and that's the story of the day.
"We have to keep fighting, pick ourselves up, get the confidence back and challenge in the other competitions and in the second leg of this tie too.
"They punished us on every occasion; they scored some quality goals and they deserved to win."

I'm just watching the highlights of the game and some of Arsenal's defending really was shocking. It really makes you wonder why Wenger didn't bolster the defence in January.
