Wayne Rooney has been pencilled in to make his Manchester United comeback against Fulham on December 3.
Rooney suffered an ankle injury in a freak training ground accident at Carrington a fortnight ago and was initially ruled out for a month.
However, while Sir Alex Ferguson denied reports the 22-year-old had already returned to training, he did confirm Rooney should be fit to face the Cottagers a week on Monday.
"Wayne did some light running yesterday and is doing well. He won’t be fit for the match against Bolton tomorrow or Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday but he should be fine for Fulham."
Ferguson confirmed skipper Gary Neville will make an appearance for the Red Devils’ second string next week as he steps up his battle back from a series of muscular problems.
However Ferguson was happy to report Carlos Tevez is fit and ready to face Bolton at the Reebok Stadium, rejecting completely reports from Argentina that the forward was ’feeling tired’.
Apart from long-term injury victims Paul Scholes, Park Ji-sung, Mikael Silvestre and Ben Foster (all knee) Ferguson’s only doubt for Saturday is defender Nemanja Vidic.
The Serbian has been released from international duty but picked up a knock against Poland which could see Wes Brown start at centre-half alongside Rio Ferdinand.
