Ferdinand's fitness fight continues

Rio Ferdinand is doubtful for Birmingham’s visit to Old Trafford tomorrow with a foot injury.

Ferdinand was hurt during Manchester United’s defeat in Stuttgart in midweek and will have a fitness test before Alex Ferguson makes a decision.

Wes Brown (knee), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (knee) and Kleberson (shoulder) continue to be missing from the squad.

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