Neville eyes return

Manchester United defender Gary Neville is hoping to end his injury nightmare in the next fortnight.

The England international has not featured for club or country for months after injuring his ankle against Bolton Wanderers back in March.

A thigh injury curtailed Neville's first comeback, but the Red Devils stalwart is confident the Old Trafford faithful will see him back in action within the next two weeks.

"I probably did a bit too much, I was a bit over-excited getting back and I just felt my thigh a little bit," he said. "It's frustrating.

"Hopefully in the next week or two I'll be back and I hope to be playing games in the next couple of weeks definitely.

The 32-year-old believes this weekend's clash against Everton at Goodison Park could be too soon, but has pencilled in Chelsea's trip to Old Trafford on 23rd September for a possible return date.

Neville added: "Because I've been out for such a long time I think the Everton game is going to be too soon, I think it will probably be after that."
