Last updated : 14 September 2004 By editor

Neither Rooney nor Saha will be in Lyon for Wednesday's match but both of them are said to be nearing the end of the road back from injury.

Rooney has started doing serious ball work in training and is being pencilled in for the Boro game on October 3rd.

As we report elsewhere Saha is making sure that he is fully fit before stepping back on to the pitch.

According to a press statement on the club website Gary Neville has been ruled out for up to four weeks with a hairline fracture of the kneecap.

"Gary Neville has a hairline fracture in his left knee cap. We expect him to be out for between three and four weeks."
