Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirms Wes Brown is out for 'four to six weeks'
United boss gives hope to defender's World Cup dreams...
By Alan Dawson
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."
