Scholes gets early recall

Paul Scholes has been called into Manchester United’s squad for tomorrow’s trip to Leicester after recovering from his hernia problem.

The England midfielder had feared he may need surgery on a hernia problem but he came through training this week without any problems and manager Sir Alex Ferguson is happy to include him again.

He said: “He came through training this week. He’s not suffered any reaction. He is a player we cannot replay and it is no risk to play him.”

Kleberson (dislocated shoulder) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (knee) are still absent however.

Provisional squad: Howard, Carroll, G Neville, P Neville, Silvestre, Ferdinand, O’Shea, Fortune, Butt, Solskjaer, Ronaldo, Keane, Djemba-Djemba, Giggs, Van Nistelrooy, Forlan, Fletcher, Richardson, Scholes.
