Ferguson: Ole's Gunnar Be Back

The Norwegian legend has been plagued by injuries in recent season, the most recent a knee problem in August of this year. The Baby Faced Assassin had to undergo lengthy surgery on his knee.

Ferguson admitted it will be tough physically and mentally for 31 year old, saying: "It is a long road to recovery but we are all hoping and praying for him. He is a fantastic player and I am sure he will be back,"

"Ole is coming along fine at the moment. He is doing a tremendous amount of work and that kind of dedication will give him a big chance."

"It is a frustrating situation for any player, particular one in their 30s and some players do worry when they are placed in his position.

"But Ole is very clear about where he is going. He is not letting himself suffer any kind of mental problem and that is bound to help him."
