Ace striker Wayne Rooney will be fit for Manchester United's Euro showdown with AC Milan.
The England striker is suffering from an inflamed kneecap tendon and was rested for Saturday's 1-0 win at Wolves.
But last night it emerged that the condition is not serious enough to keep him out of Wednesday's Champions League return against the Italians at Old Trafford.
Rooney, 24, has paid for playing two games in four days on Wembley's dodgy pitch, 'The Sun' reports.
But the inflammation will go within three weeks and should not stop him playing again.
However, there are concerns that United and England defender Wes Brown may have suffered a broken metatarsal in his left foot, which would put a question mark over his World Cup hopes.
Arsenal to risk playing Fabregas to keep Euro dream alive
London
To keep Arsenal's Euro dream alive, manager Arsene Wenger is ready to risk playing skipper Cesc Fabregas.
The Gunners skipper limped off in the 3-1 win against Burnley with a tight hamstring and is doubtful for tomorrow's Porto clash.
It is the same injury that kept Fabregas out for three weeks last month.
"I'm ready to take the gamble. But if there is more than a 50 per cent chance of his "You look at the Fabregas numbers and they are amazing 14 goals and 15 assists. He's a fantastic player with fantastic attitude and commitment," he said.
"And what people forget, an unbelievable work-rate, too. This season he has taken a big step forward, massive. At 22 years of age he has matured," Wenger added.
Fabregas will have a scan today to assess the extent of the injury.
Arsenal need to overcome a 2-1 deficit and will be boosted at the Emirates by Sol Campbell's recovery from a muscle injury.
