Man Utd boss Ferguson: Only Chicharito unavailable for West Brom

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says they kickoff the season at West Bromwich Albion with an almost fully-fit squad.

United will head to the Hawthorns without Javier Hernandez, who in all likelihood will not be considered until after the September international break given the need to be cautious due to a concussion he suffered in New Jersey almost a fortnight ago.

However, Ferguson could have everyone else at his disposal, confirming Darren Fletcher and Antonio Valencia are both back in full training after recovering from a virus and an ankle injury respectively.

"We are doing the right thing with Hernandez but both Fletcher and Valencia are back," he said.
