Keane set for United return

Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson expects to have Roy Keane available for Sunday’s title showdown with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Keane missed the midweek Champions League win over Panathinaikos with a minor hamstring strain but will train today and providing he suffers no reaction, will make the trip south.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and the Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, should also play after sitting on the bench in Athens, while Rio Ferdinand and Mikael Silvestre are set to recover from minor knocks.

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