Rio Ferdinand will unlikely be able to return to South Africa to support his team-mates, after it was revealed by Manchester United that he will be remaining in Manchester in order to continue rehabilitation on his knee injury.

“Rio has been assessed by club medical staff at Carrington this week and he is making good early progress from his knee injury,” a statement read on the club’s official website. “The medical staff have advised a two week recuperation period with his family before returning to Carrington to complete the rehabilitation process.”

Man Utd are determined to keep the defender focused on his recovery from the unfortunate knee injury he sustained just days prior to the World Cup, in order to ensure he will be fully fit for the side’s opening match against Newcastle United.
