Man Utd star could be out for the season

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Ferdinand could miss the rest of the season.

Ferdinand has not returned to training from the calf-injury that he suffered in the warm-up ahead of the defeat at Wolves on February 5.

“Rio has been out for a few weeks now,” said Ferguson.

“We are not looking at this as a short-term situation.

“He has not started training yet. We will be lucky to get him back for some part of the season.”
