Fergie extremely concerned by Hargreaves

(07-12-2010) Sir Alex Ferguson is growing increasingly concerned that midfielder Owen Hargreaves may have finally hit the end of the road in his long battle to regain full fitness. The England international has spent over two years battling chronic knee knack. He made a surprise return to first team action against Wolves in November only to pull a hamstring six minutes into the game. "He has not played for over two years so we would have to be super-optimistic to think everything in the garden was rosy about him making comebacks,” said Manchester United chief Fergie on Monday. "What we are trying to do is help the lad. That in itself is our biggest challenge.” He added: "This hamstring injury is a real kick in the teeth. He was doing so well in training before the Wolves game. He was absolutely superb.”
