Injury for Man Utd fullback Rafael not serious

Manchester United fullback Rafael da Silva's knee injury is not serious.

This morning, Ferguson confirmed young defender Rafael will miss Saturday's Premier League encounter with Fulham at Old Trafford after suffering a knee injury in the Champions League win at Chelsea on Wednesday.

However, the 20-year-old is expected to be fit for Tuesday's second leg.

The good news for United is that John O'Shea and Wes Brown have both recovered from hamstring problems and both are available to face the Cottagers.
