Park Out Of Wolfsburg Clash

29 September 09 by Bill

Park Ji-Sung will be unavailable for selection as United host German champions Wolfsburg in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The tireless midfielder was struck down by a virus over the weekend and after missing training, Ferguson has ruled the South Korean out of contention for the mid week clash.

Patrice Evra also contracted the virus but appears to be over the worst and is back in training.

“Ji-sung has a virus,” said Ferguson. “Patrice Evra had it at the weekend. After the Stoke game he felt a bit uneasy – he was in bed on Sunday and didn’t come to training, but he came in for a bit yesterday, came in today (Tuesday) and he should be alright.”

Ferguson also revealed Michael Owen has picked up a groin stain but it is likely he will be okay in time.

“Michael should be alright for tomorrow. He had a tight groin in training yesterday, nothing serious.”
