John O'Shea may not be able to play the UEFA champiuons league fist knockout leg of Manchester United against AC milan as manager Sir Alex Ferguson said the defender's thigh injury is likely to keep him sidelined for a further two months.
The player got injured during his International clash against France on 18 November, and he is not recovery very much.
Sir Alex saying: "There is no sign at all of a recovery at the moment. It's a big loss because he's such a versatile player. It could be a couple of months yet."
There was better news on fellow defenders Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand, though, with both returning to light training following injury lay-offs. United meet Milan on 16 February and 10 March for a place in the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition.
