John O'Shea will be out of action for two months due to a thigh injury. He hasn’t featured for Manchester United since November, when he suffered the injury described as a "dead leg" during Ireland's controversial World Cup play-off in Paris.
O'Shea is regarded as the most versatile player for Manchester United by Sir Alex Ferguson. He has been one of Fergie’s favorite players due to his high degree of adaptability. He can play in defense as well as midfield and has also scored crucial goals for the Red Devils.
The Irishman who made his debut in October 1999 has made 352 appearances for Manchester United. O’Shea completed ten years at Old Trafford two months back and this is his first injury at the club. His absence for two months will mean more problems for United in the defense.
Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown have returned to guard the central defense but missing out Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans hurts. And now John O'Shea too joins the injury list. In John’s case, blood had congealed in his thigh while playing against France and is making a slower than expected recovery.
We may be able to see O’Shea back in March but the return of Rafael and Fabio is a big boost. At least Fergie can now field a recognizable back-four. I hope Rio and Jonny return to training soon since we are approaching an important part of the year with Champions League and Cup matches getting more competitive.
