Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is expected to feature once again for Serbia against South Korea on Wednesday night as he continues his rehabilitation from a calf injury.

The centre-back played 45 minutes for his country against Northern Ireland on Saturday, and is building his match fitness after a three-week lay-off.

"We arranged before the game Vidic would play one half. He will also play in the game on Wednesday. Everything is okay," said Serbia coach Raddy Antic, according to Press Association Sport.

Meanwhile, Vidic's United team-mate Jonny Evans was forced to sit out the second half of the Ulstermen's 1-0 defeat after also suffering a calf strain.

"I thought it was only fair to Jonny and Manchester United we got him off," Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington said.

"We have iced it so it will be 24 hours before we know what the full extent of the injury is."
