Scholes To Go For Second Scan

Paul Scholes will visit a specialist on Monday to ascertain the extent of his knee injury.

Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful the influential 32-year-old midfielder will not face a long spell on the sidelines.

Scholes picked up the injury as he turned in training at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv the night before United's Group F clash. He had a scan upon his return to Manchester, but the results were inconclusive.

Now a visit to another specialist is required to determine the true nature of the problem.

"The first scan did not clearly show the problem," said Sir Alex. "We’re sending Paul to another specialist on Monday to ascertain what damage, if any, there is. It could be something, it could be nothing.

"Obviously he is out of the Middlesbrough match. It was a strange one, he just felt a click in his knee when he turned in training on Monday.

"Hopefully it’s not going to be a long one, but we’ll know better on Monday."
