Wayne Rooney and Tom Cleverley are just two of four players who are set to give Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson a welcome boost on the injury front.
Rooney has not played for the Red Devils since the 2-1 win over Arsenal in January, along with Portuguese winger Nani, but the two of them are likely to be fit to face Chelsea on Sunday.
But the positive news for United does not stop there, with Ferguson revealing Cleverley and Ashley Young could also be involved in the trip to Stamford Bridge.
"We're a bit better in terms of injuries," Ferguson said on United's official website. "We hope Wayne Rooney, Nani, Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young will all be in the squad.
"It's more likely Tom will play against Chelsea Reserves on Monday, but he'll travel.
"Rooney and Nani have trained for the last two days."
However, Ferguson looks set to be without goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard for a prolonged spell, after it was confirmed he suffered ligament damage to his ankle.
"It looks like Lindegaard will be out for at least four weeks, maybe five to six, with ankle ligament damage," Ferguson added.
"We don't know what his recovery from injuries is like, so we'll have to wait and see, but I would have thought [he'll be out for] at least four weeks."
In Lindegaard's absence, Ferguson will have to choose between erratic Spaniard David de Gea and young academy graduate Ben Amos to face Chelsea on Sunday.
