Manchester United hope to have a full squad to choose from for their
Champions League tie with Lille.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is in the Red Devils party but rookie Tom
Heaton also travelled in case the Dutchman has not fully recovered from
a broken nose.
Wayne Rooney is set for a recall after he was suspended for Saturday's
FA Cup draw against Reading.
He could partner Henrik Larsson, whose last appearance in this competition
came for Barcelona in the 2006 final.
The one minor hiccup to United's preparations is that the pitch at Lens'
Stade Bollaert has been declared unfit to train on.
It means both United and Lille, who did not concede a goal in two meetings
with Sir Alex Ferguson's men last season, will instead train at the Lens
training ground at La Gayette.
Full travelling squad
Goalkeepers: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton.
Defenders: Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, Heinze.
Midfielders: Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Park, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Richardson,
O'Shea.
Forwards: Rooney, Saha, Larsson, Solskjaer, Smith.
Full squad flies to France

Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a full strength squad to France for Tuesday
night's Champions League last 16 clash with Lille.
It was a strong and experienced 23-man squad that departed from Manchester
airport on Monday morning for the northern French city of Lens.
The team will set up base there for two days as Lille play their Champions
League home matches at Racing Club Lens' Felix Bollaert stadium.
Edwin van der Sar returns after the broken nose he suffered against
Tottenham, and is joined by Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand,
who were all rested for Saturday's FA Cup draw with Reading, while Wayne
Rooney is back after suspension.
Alan Smith, who hasn't played for the first team since November, joins the
ranks of forwards.
Head-to-heads
Lille and Manchester United have met four times in European history, all
in the Champions League.
In the 2001-02 CL campaign
United beat Lille 1-0 in a Group G home match, courtesy of a 90th minute
goal from David Beckham.
The return match ended in a 1-1 draw through goals by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
and Bruno Cheyrou.
Last season's Champions League Group D encounter at Old Trafford ended 0-0,
during which Paul Scholes was sent off.
The return in France was won by Lille - Milenko Acimovic scoring the only
goal of the game.
European history
Manchester United have won
Champions Cup/Champions League (1968, 1999),
Cup Winners' Cup (1991),
European Super Cup (1991)
Intercontinental Club Cup (1999).
They are taking part in their 12th Champions League season.
United have played 236 European matches, whereas Lille only have 40 games
under their belt in Europe. This is only the fourth European season for
Lille, their third in the Champions League.
Current European form
Manchester United qualified for the last 16 by winning Group F with 12
points from six matches. They've lost their last two away matches in the
CL, 1-0 at Copenhagen and 1-0 at Celtic.
Player and disciplinary info
＊ United's Paul Scholes will be suspended if booked. He holds the record
for most yellow cards (28) in the CL.
＊ Louis Saha is United's CL top scorer this season with four goals.
＊ Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is the only United player who has not
missed a minute in this CL season.
Other miscellaneous facts

third place in the table - 18 points behind Lyon.
Manchester United are six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the
Premiership, but were held to a 1-1 draw, home to Reading, in the FA
Cup on Saturday.
