Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Gary Neville has suffered another setback in his ongoing return from injury.
The Reds' club captain picked up a minor calf strain during training on Sunday, ruling him out of Wednesday night's Champions League clash with Dynamo Kyiv.
"Unfortunately Gary's got a little calf strain again," Sir Alex told his pre-match press conference. "It's a real dampener for the boy and us. I don't think it's a long one, but it is a setback."
Sir Alex, meanwhile, has no other fresh injury worries and is likely to rotate his squad for Wednesday's tie, admitting: "There'll probably be two changes, maybe three, but no more."
Michael Carrick and Louis Saha are both pushing for inclusion after substitute cameos against Arsenal and could play, although the Boss admitted that he is still cautious about the latter's fitness concerns.
"Carrick could possibly come back into the picture, and you saw how Louis can change a game on Saturday, so we'll be monitoring how he is tomorrow," said Sir Alex.
"We're never going to risk his availability for the rest of the season. If we have to start him as a sub that's what we'll do. He's such a different player to any we have here."
