Rio Doubtful For Top Of The Table Clash

Rio Ferdinand is doubtful for Manchester United's top of the table clash with Arsenal on Saturday following fears that he has suffered a recurrence of a groin injury.
The England centre-back, who has been in impressive form this season, is believed to have gone for a scan after arriving at United's Carrington Training Ground on Monday.

Ferdinand was replaced by Gerard Pique with 20 minutes left on the clock in Saturday's thumping 4-1 win over Middlesbrough, but it will hoped that he is available for the match against top of the table Arsenal at the Emirates. United have had numerous injury problems this season and today learned that Paul Scholes will be ruled out until February. Ferdinand's solid defensive partnership with Nemanja Vidic had been a key feature of United's return to form as the Premiership champions have only conceded four Premiership goals all season.
