(GSM) – Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves could finally return to action on Saturday when his side take on West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, according to his surgeon.
Hargreaves has last played a proper senior game for United since over two years after he was constantly struck down by tendinitis in his knees.
29-year-old Hargreaves is aware this could be his last attempt to salvage his career but Dr. Richard Steadman is optimistic that the English midfielder could play part in United’s game on Saturday.
“Owen should play some part on Saturday,” Steadman told BBC Sport. “Our physical therapist, Luke O’Brien, has been working very closely with United’s coaches on his rehab.
“It’s been a long road back and there have been some setbacks along the way. But I’ve got a lot of admiration for the way Owen has responded – he’s worked very hard and has never given up.
“Things are looking good for him now.”
