Evans To Soldier On

The United centre-back had to have painkilling injections in order to play in the Champions League tie against Inter Milan and he has said that he wants to do the same in order to play in the Carling Cup Final against Tottenham on Sunday.

"The manager has tried to tell me if I miss it, it's no big thing, but I would be quite gutted," Evans said after Tuesday's game in Milan.

" I suppose my chances are the same as last night. In a way, that game was more important because there weren't many other options.

"That won't be the case on Sunday. But hopefully the manager will allow me to have a few more injections.

"It is like a bone bruise on the inside of my ankle.

"Maybe I have done a bit of damage there because it keeps hurting and coming back.

"It is not nice to keep struggling on, so I am going to have to get it sorted at some point in the future.

"Hopefully I can get through to the summer and then maybe have a month off but for now it is a case of hoping I don't get a bang on it or mis-kick."
