Sir Alex Ferguson will have the rare luxury of a fully fit back four for the trip to Birmingham on Saturday, although the United boss must do without Nemanja Vidic for up to ten days.
The Serbian visited a specialist on Wednesday for a full diagnosis of the nerve problem down the side of his right leg which ruled him out of the FA Cup third round defeat to Leeds. However, the injury isn't considered serious and Vidic could return for the Carling Cup semi-final, first leg tie with Manchester City at Eastlands on Tuesday 19 January.
“During the warm-up against Leeds, he felt a problem in the nerve,” explained Sir Alex. “It’s something which has been a recent problem for him and he just didn’t feel confident enough to play. I understand that because it’s painful. We sent him to a specialist to get the problem diagnosed and we know what exercises he needs to do now. It’s not a long-term issue and we can control it.”
On Saturday the Reds will still be without first-choice men Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar, who remains in Holland. But Jonny Evans and Wes Brown are both fit and will occupy the two centre-back positions at St. Andrew's against Alex McLeish’s in-form side.
The centre-half situation looks a lot healthier than in recent weeks, however, and it could be significantly bolstered in the next fortnight with Vidic’s impending return and news that Ferdinand is possibly only two weeks away from resuming duties for the first time since defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on 25 October.
Another player making a significant strides towards full recovery is Owen Hargreaves. The midfielder, who has been out for 16 months following double knee surgery, has started training with the Reserves.
Good news about Hargreaves training with the reserves and Rio almost being back..
Fandom: Axis Powers: Hetalia
Pairings: N. Italy/Germany, America/England, suggested future S. Italy/Spain and Canada/France
Categories: romance, pre-slash, first-time, angst, humor, amnesia, harlequin, epistolary for "Messages" and "Blackpool", established relationship for "Dating Advice"
Length: Epic [~110,000 for the series]
Warnings: n/a; generally, chapters aren't above R-rating, but there are a few NC-17

Website: n/a
Summaries:
In "Messages", Germany and North Italy are almost dating, but then Germany hears about Holy Roman Empire. Will Germany ever remember who he was - and if he does, will he ever forgive North Italy for hiding the truth?
In "Blackpool", England makes one last-ditch attempt to confess his feelings to America. The problems: Blackpool is not the ideal romantic location for confessions, and both Nations are too comfortable with their current status as best friends to take the risk of losing it all.
In "Dating Advice", England and North Italy are giving romantic advice to Germany and America, respectively - all four are suffering from miscommunication with their respective lovers, and have turned to each other for help. Mis-sent texts and suggestive e-mails combine to make the worst miscommunication of all: one that might break up both relationships for good.
Review: I love that an epic series for Hetalia, set in the modern day but *not* as an AU, exists - period. That every Nation is perfectly in-character and a joy to read is a bonus I didn't dare hope for. Even better, I can really believe in the slow buildup of both romances, and the danger that both relationships may crumble in the third story kept me anxious for updates this past fall. (There are more sequels in the works which will continue the series, but which are primarily about other Nations, so the storyline for these four characters is fairly complete.)
For those who aren't familiar with Hetalia, this is also one of the few series that I think is strong enough to stand on its own, even without knowledge of canon. All the details that matter are explained, and the characterization, which I still can't praise highly enough, makes it simple for the new reader to get to know Germany, North Italy, England and America.

But, once he steps away from yet more plaudits, the 36-year-old will be fully focused on collecting three points at Birmingham on Saturday and bouncing back from the Leeds debacle.
