Nani set for scan
Written by Sir Denan on August 10, 2009 – 3:46 pm -Nani may miss the start of the Barclays Premier League campaign after sustaining a shoulder injury in United’s Community Shield defeat to Chelsea.
The winger, who scored and impressed on the left wing, was forced off in the second half after landing awkwardly following a tackle from John Terry. He’ll now have a scan to discover the full extent of the injury.
“Nani will see the specialist tomorrow (Monday) and I hope it’s not a long-term injury. But he has done some damage to his shoulder,” confirmed Sir Alex on MUTV.
The setback comes at the most inconvenient time for Nani, who had hoped to cement his position as the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s position as winger-in-chief at Old Trafford.
He’d made a good start in putting in his application with a stunning long-range goal after ten minutes of the entertaining Community Shield clash on Sunday.
Nani is added to an injury list that also includes Nemanja Vidic (calf), Wes Brown (thigh), Edwin van der Sar (hand) and Gary Neville (groin) ahead of the new league season.
