Giggs won’t rule out Cup appearance

RYAN GIGGS has not abandoned hope of featuring in Manchester United’s FA Cup semi-final clash with Newcastle on Sunday — but the odds remain heavily against the Wales skipper making the Millennium Stadium encounter.

The 31-year-old has been having intensive treatment on the hamstring injury he picked up early in the 0-0 draw with Blackburn on April 2 and has at least been able to start running again.

It all now depends on Giggs coming through training later this week without a reaction.
