| Rio ferdiand in action against valencia at Old Trafford |
Manchester united midfielder Paul Scholes is rated as "doubtful" for Monday's Premier League game against Arsenal at Old Trafford, but Rio Ferdinand hopes to recover in time from his hamstring injury.
Scholes has not featured for United since the win over Rangers last month, when he picked up a groin injury. He had been expected to play some part in United's 1-1 draw with Valencia at Old Trafford but suffered a minor setback in training.
SAF said: "Scholes tried training on Sunday and came off. He will be doubtful for next Monday."
However Ferguson is more optimistic about Ferdinand, who was forced out of last night's game five minutes into the second half after feeling some discomfort in his hamstring.
"Rio felt it at half-time," said Ferguson. "He wanted to try it but it still felt tight. We weren't prepared to take a chance. He has six days to prepare himself for the match against arsenal and I am sure he will be okay for Monday."
