Champions League semi-final, 1st leg
Date: Tuesday, 24 April
Kick-off: 1945 BST
Venue: Old Trafford
Referee: Kyros Vassaras (Greece)
Manchester United have been hit by an injury crisis ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against AC Milan at Old Trafford.
Only 10 senior players are in the team. Defenders Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Mikael Silvestre and Craig Cathcart will definitely miss the game, while Patrice Evra is doubtful. Midfielders Ji-Sung Park and Kieran Richardson will miss the game, along with striker Louis Saha.
MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Manchester United came from behind to beat AC Milan 3-2 in the first leg of a dramatic Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford on Tuesday with Wayne Rooney scoring the winner in stoppage time.
He latched on to a pass from Ryan Giggs to lash the ball past Dida for his second goal of the game.
United, missing six first team regulars, made a superb start when Milan goalkeeper Dida could only parry a Cristiano Ronaldo header into his own net after five minutes.
But Milan, the last team to beat United at home in European competition two years ago, equalised when Brazilian Kaka fired an angled left-foot shot past Edwin van der Sar after 22 minutes.
Kaka put Milan 2-1 up 15 minutes later with a fine individual goal capitalising on the uncertainty in United's patched-up defence.
Rooney brought United back into the tie when he converted from close range to make it 2-2 in the 59th minute, but Milan, with two away goals, will still fancy their chances of reaching next month's final against either Liverpool or Chelsea when they face United at home in the San Siro in next Wednesday's second leg.
AC Milan's away record funnily enough seems to be much better than their home from what I have gathered. They had only conceded 2 goals away, but United put 3 past them in 1 game. In the last round they drew with Bayern Munich 2-2 at home but beat them 2-0 away so we are really in with a great chance!
Pray:
Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, 'Believe ye in the Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.
