Obertan And Rafael Ready For Return

12 October 09 by Bill

Rafael da Silva will make his long awaited return from injury tonight as he is lined up to play against Oldham Athletic for the Reserves in the Manchester Senior Cup.

Rafael had an impressive debut season at United which saw him nominated for PFA young player of the year award but has been kept out of action so far this campaign as he recovered from a shoulder injury.

Summer signing Gabriel Obertan is also due to play his first game for the Reserves after recovering from a back injury carried over from his time at Bordeaux.
