Brown boost for Man Utd
From BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/3593388.stm
Wes Brown is ready to return to training with Manchester United for the first
time this season.
The 24-year-old England defender is now on the road to recovery after an
Achilles tendon injury.
Brown told MUTV: "I had a needle on the injury two weeks ago and ever since it
has felt great.
"I started to run from the end of last week and have done some football now.
Hopefully I will be back in training at the end of the week."
Brown's career has been dogged by a succession of injuries that have slowed
down his progress.
But he remains optimistic about the future, despite this latest setback.
"The injury happened the first few days into training, " he said. "I carried on
thinking it might be because I had not done anything for a few weeks.
"Obviously it was not and we had to do something about it.
"It has not been that long - only a couple of weeks - that is the main thing.
But it did my head in a bit."
United have been short of options at the back with Brown sidelined and
Rio Ferdinand suspended.
Roy Keane, meanwhile, has spoken of his determination to reclaim his central
midfield position with Manchester United.
The United skipper insists that his current position at centre-back is just to
help out the club's selection crisis and is adamant that he will return to
midfield as soon as possible.
He said: "Central midfield is my position, it is where I have played all my
career and it is where I hope I will play for the rest of my career.
"I have been at the back recently because of all the players missing and I feel
I have done OK but my priority is to play in midfield. I will not drop back
permanently."
