Sounds positive.

Hopefully he's back for the Arsenal cup game. He always does well against them.

They're allowed to kick him though. Wenger said so because he hurt their feelings by juggling the ball.

the sight of the actual injury was completely unnecessary for dowd to do his job, of course. he wasn't unsighted, carragher went over the ball with a straight leg and studs up, it should have been the easiest decision for any referee. the tackle was a potential leg breaker and dowd failed in his most basic duty of ensuring the safety of the players. he should be removed from the list for the season.

more generally, some of the tackles that have gone unpunished over the last few weeks have been shocking. carragher's and rodriguez's yesterday, caldwell's last week, not to mention some of the assorted body checks and stamps on the achilles (an ivanovic speciality) from chelsea. unfortunately it's easy for a referee to make a name for himself by 'standing up to' fergie and united while simultaneously playing up to the home crowd, especially when it concerns a player whose media stereotyping provides an excuse like nani the diver or rafael the hothead.

He was crying ffs! the way he went down the second time with his legs in the air was bizarre too.

nasty gash and lucky not to have his leg broke but crying? never seen anything like it.

I hear you, brother. the rest of the record-buying public says rooney should have be banned and nani deserved it for faking every other time.

Nani feels let down by Manchester United over their failure to complain publicly about the tackle by Liverpool's Jamie Carragher that forced him off the field at Anfield with a badly gashed leg.

Nani was withdrawn at half-time of Sunday's defeat and, although United were privately furious at Carragher's challenge, which they felt merited a red rather than a yellow card, they have not commented on the incident because of a media black-out imposed by Sir Alex Ferguson.

United's manager refused to speak to any media outlets after the game, including the club's own television station, and instructed his coaching staff and players to remain silent.

Sources close to Nani said the winger believes the club should have shown support for him publicly. United's chief executive, David Gill, was sufficiently incensed by Carragher's tackle to voice his complaints to the referees' chief, Mike Riley, at half-time in the directors' box.

Carragher tried to apologise to Nani after the game but it is understood the Portuguese was unwilling to engage with the defender, who was denied access by United's players to their dressing room. He then waited outside with the intention of saying sorry but Nani is understood to have walked by.

Nani does not expect his injury to sideline him for long. "I would like to thank supporters for their good wishes and I hope to be back really soon," he said.

"He then waited outside with the intention of saying sorry but Nani is understood to have walked by".

Not a serious injury then.
