No actual quote from the person himself, instead of a "reliable source or insider"= not news worthy.

Well phil jones is definately out for couple of months. Evans just got back from injury and got knock at his ankle but he said hes alright and might even feature for the next qualifier. Smalling is currently going through rehabilitation and will not be back so soon. One more injury at the back will be red alert to be honest with cl coming middle of next week.

The facility is expected to fast-track Sir Alex Ferguson’s players back to fitness and ensure quicker, and more private, injury diagnosis on site rather than rely on nearby hospitals.
The medical centre, which will be supplied with CT and MRI scanners and other cutting-edge equipment as part of a five-year agreement with the Japanese company Toshiba, is set to be the first of its kind in the Premier League, with Manchester United planning to emulate the physiological and sports science benefits enjoyed by AC Milan at their world-renowned Milanello complex.
Research carried out at the end of last season by the sports injury website physioroom.com showed that United suffered the worst injury list in the Premier League during the 2011-12 campaign, with the club suffering 39 significant problems – those lasting for at least two weeks – which amounted to a total 1,681 days lost to injury by Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad.
In comparison, champions Manchester City suffered just seven significant injuries, costing Roberto Mancini’s squad a total of 186 days lost to injury.
United manager Ferguson issued a staunch defence of the club’s medical team last season following criticism from former midfielder Owen Hargreaves over his treatment during lengthy injury problems, with the Scot insisting “some of the best sports medical staff in world sport” are employed at Old Trafford.

In the absence of Evans, Jones, Smalling and, for the first two games of the season, Rio Ferdinand, midfielder Michael Carrick began the season at the heart of the United defence. Even with Evans and Ferdinand available, Ferguson only has three fit central defenders at least until the next international break, if not longer.

I just learned that Kagawa was excluded from the match against Iraq due to a lower back pain. Is that true?

Hopefully it's not serious

Fletcher to face Celtic

Darren Fletcher and summer signing Alexander Büttner have been named in a strong Manchester United XI squad for this evening's friendly match away to Stalybridge Celtic.

The pair are joined in the party by goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, defenders Michele Fornasier, Michael Keane and Tom Thorpe, midfielders Ryan Tunnicliffe, Davide Petrucci, Larnell Cole and Jesse Lingard, while Federico Macheda will lead the attack after scoring twice in the Under-21s' last league win over Tottenham Hotspur. Further additions to the squad will be made later.

Kagawa injury doubt for United

Manchester United have been handed an injury worry after Shinji Kagawa pulled out of Japan's World Cup qualifier against Iraq with a reported back problem.

Kagawa was withdrawn from the game an hour before kick-off as a result of a problem he had sustained in training. Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni had felt he was fit enough to take a place on the bench but opted not to risk the former Borussia Dortmund player. Japan won the game 1-0 courtesy of a Ryoichi Maeda goal in the 25th minute.

The midfielder joined United in the summer after helping Dortmund win back-to-back Bundesliga titles and made an immediate impression at Old Trafford, scoring on his home debut against Fulham. United host Wigan on Saturday and it remains to be seen if Kagawa will be able to feature. Meanwhile, Darren Fletcher will continue his comeback from a serious bowel problem when he plays for a United reserve team against Stalybridge Celtic on Tuesday night. Summer signing Alexander Buttner, who was brought to the club to be Patrice Evra's deputy at left-back, is also set to start.
