Fergie:

"Alan Smith has had a little setback.

"I think we rushed him back too quickly. It is one of these unfortunate things. I am sure he will be ready within two weeks."

Better news for Ruud:

Fergie again: "We had an update on Ruud yesterday. He started a sprinting programme now, which is good news.

"Hopefully he will get through that with no pain and then he can get on to the football part."
