Manchester United striker Louis Saha has been ruled out for four weeks with a hamstring injury. Saha sustained the problem in training for the Champions League clash with Lille at Old Trafford. The 28-year-old's injury is a setback for United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as he faces a shortage of strikers. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is out for a month after knee surgery, while Henrik Larsson will return to Sweden shortly after a loan spell from Helsingborg. Saha's injury was confirmed after a scan on Tuesday, and manager Sir Alex Ferguson has already said he will not make any late attempt to extend Larsson's loan spell. He will miss Saturday's FA Cup tie at Middlesbrough, the Premiership clashes with Bolton and Blackburn on 17 and 31 March, and, almost certainly, the first leg of the Champions League quarter final at the beginning of April should they progress. This is could be bad for United Larsson going Solskjaer out for even longer. Ryan Giggs might move as a striker or we could bring Dong and Smith. Your thoughts?
This not only illustrates the lack of depth in striker dept. but the overall lack of cover in an aging team.Should have bought in the Jan window. Smith is never going to be a replacement striker and there is nothing else.
