Defender Rio Ferdinand is a major doubt for Manchester United’s Premier League trip to Middlesbrough on Saturday.
The England star picked up a rib injury on Wednesday against Arsenal in the Champions League and is likely to miss the 1245 BST kick-off.
“I will bring some freshness into the team. The defence will be the same, apart from Rio, but the midfield and forwards could change completely.”
If Ferdinand has broken a rib, he could miss the remainder of the season.
The 30-year-old has put in 40 appearances in all this season and has been a major factor in a United defence which has conceded just 23 League goals.
However, Nemanja Vidic seems likely to be partnered in the centre of defence by someone else on Saturday after Ferdinand left the field in some discomfort towards the end of Wednesday’s match.
That person would probably be Jonny Evans, with Ferguson keen to keep John O’Shea at right-back, where he performed well at Old Trafford.
Wes Brown, who has come through a couple of reserve team appearances since returning to action after a foot problem, will be on the bench at the Riverside, Ferguson revealing he intended to introduce the England defender at some point.
“Wes has been training with the first team and has played two reserve games,” said Ferguson.
“He was with the squad today and there is a definite possibility he could play some part of the game on Saturday. I actually think it is important. I don’t think he will start but he will play some part.”
Ferguson needs to utilise his squad on Teesside as, with the second leg of their semi-final at the Emirates Stadium looming on Tuesday, he cannot afford to risk all his key men again.
“I do not think it is right that we have a lunchtime kick-off at Middlesbrough,” he reflected.
He suggested Arsenal, who also play on Saturday, could afford to rest any number of players at Portsmouth before the two teams meet again on Tuesday, when the Gunners will try to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
“They can play (assistant manager) Pat Rice at right-back and (manager) Arsene Wenger at centre-forward on Saturday,” said Ferguson. “We have to play a team to win the game.”
Liverpool - three points behind United having played an extra match - need Ferguson’s team to slip up, and then beat Newcastle themselves on Sunday - to get back into the Premier League title hunt.
Turkish warplanes bombed Kurdish rebel positions in northern Iraq on Wednesday and Thursday, Turkish officials say.
The news follows the killing of at least nine Turkish soldiers in a landmine explosion on Wednesday which was blamed on the rebels.
Correspondents say it was the deadliest attack on security forces in months.
The banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has been fighting for autonomy since 1984. The government has arrested 51 suspected members this month.
More than 40,000 people have died in the conflict over the last 25 years.
The UN’s World Health Organization has raised the alert over swine flu to level five - indicating human-to-human transmission in at least two countries.
It is a “strong signal that a pandemic is imminent”, the WHO says.
After Mexico, the US has recorded the next highest number of confirmed cases, with 91.
A senior health official in Europe says it is not a question of whether people in Europe will die, but how many - perhaps hundreds or thousands.
Meanwhile in Mexico, President Felipe Calderon has announced the partial suspension of non-essential work and services from 1 to 5 May.
The efforts of the government were concentrated on containing the virus, Mr Calderon said, urging people to stay at home with their families during the shutdown.
He said he was “proud” of the response of Mexicans to the crisis, and assured people Mexico was well-stocked with anti-viral medicines.
Announcing the latest alert level after an emergency WHO meeting in Geneva, Director General Margaret Chan urged all countries to activate their pandemic plans, including heightened surveillance and infection-control measures.
She said action should be undertaken with “increased urgency”.
She added: “It really is the whole of humanity that is under threat in a pandemic.”
But she also said the world was “better prepared for an influenza pandemic than at any time in history”.
In Europe, the director-general of health and consumer protection, Robert Madelin, said the continent was well prepared but nonetheless deaths from the disease were expected.
“It is not a question of whether people will die, but more a question of how many. Will it be hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands?”, he said, speaking to Reuters news agency.
Border controls?
The raising of the alert comes after a 23-month-old Mexican child died while on a visit in Texas - the first death from swine flu outside Mexico, where the outbreak originated.
He was transferred to a hospital in Houston, where he died on Monday night.
Speaking in Washington, President Barack Obama offered his condolences and said the federal government was doing the utmost to contain the virus.
He also urged local public-health bodies to be vigilant and said schools with confirmed cases “should consider closing”. About 100 have so far done so.
Officials put the number of suspected deaths from swine flu in Mexico at 159, although just eight deaths have been confirmed, with 26 infections positively tested.
Texas Governor Rick Perry said closing the US border with Mexico was an option, but added that taking that step now would be “a little premature”.
Giving a televised news conference on Wednesday evening, US President Barack Obama said health officials were not recommending closing the border.
“The key now is to just make sure we are maintaining great vigilance, that everybody responds appropriately when cases do come up,” Mr Obama said.
Since the virus emerged last week, it has also spread to Canada, Europe, Israel, and New Zealand, where the number of confirmed cases has jumped to 13.
Peru became the latest country to confirm it was treating a patient suffering from swine flu. An Argentine woman who had recently travelled to Mexico was Peru’s first case of the virus, the country’s health minister said late on Wednesday.
Several countries have restricted travel to Mexico and many tour operators have cancelled holidays.
France will ask the European Union on Thursday to suspend all flights going to Mexico because of the flu outbreak, Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot said.
The WHO, however, says measures like travel bans are unlikely to prove effective.
In Spain, the government said the first person to contract swine flu without having travelled to Mexico was the boyfriend of a young woman who had recently returned from there.
Spanish Health Minister Trinidad Jimenez said such cases were to be expected.
In total, the number of confirmed cases in Spain rose from two to 10 on Wednesday. None of the patients is seriously ill.
In Mexico, the search for the source of the outbreak continues, with the focus on the vicinity of a pig farm in the eastern part of the country.
The Mexican government is urging against jumping to conclusions and is suggesting the possibility remains that the virus originated outside the country.
Schools across Mexico have closed, public gatherings are restricted and archaeological sites have been placed off-limits.
Mexico City’s chamber of commerce estimated restrictions in the city were costing businesses there at least 777 million pesos ($57m, £39m) per day.
WHO official Keiji Fukuda said other countries also needed to consider “social distancing” measures such as closing schools and delaying public meetings.
Meanwhile, Ghana has become the latest country to ban pork imports as a precaution against swine flu, though no cases have been found in the West African country.
Ms Chan, the WHO director, stressed on Wednesday that there was no danger from eating properly cooked pork.
She advised hygiene measures such as hand-washing to prevent infection and said it was important “to maintain a level of calm”.
Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Arsenal they will struggle to stop Manchester United scoring in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.
Boss Ferguson saw United win their home leg 1-0 but they squandered chances to make the scoreline more convincing.
“We played at a good high tempo and maybe we should have scored four goals but before the game I wanted to win without losing a goal,” said Ferguson.
“We know we can go there and score and that is the big problem Arsenal have.”
United dominated the game but only had John O’Shea’s 18th-minute goal to show for their efforts.
Cristiano Ronaldo had a header saved and hit the bar with a second-half screamer, while Carlos Tevez saw a close-range effort brilliantly stopped by Gunners keeper Manuel Almunia.
“The bigger problem is if you don’t make the chances. I believe they can make the chances again. We know we have goal threats,” insisted Ferguson.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his players are capable of a much better performance at the Emirates Stadium and was relieved to emerge from the first leg with only a one-goal deficit to make up.
“I believe that we have a good chance to reverse the result,” he said.
“I am convinced you will see a different Arsenal team at the Emirates.
“United can have regrets because they didn’t score a second goal. It’s down to us to make sure they regret they didn’t score a second goal.”
Wenger reserved special praise for Spanish keeper Almunia.
“He had a big game in a big game,” he added.
“His saves were excellent, top class in every sense. His reading of the game, his decision-making, quality, sharpness. He was really top class.”
Ferguson, meanwhile, chose to single out goalscorer O’Shea, whose only other goal this season was in the Carling Cup semi-final against Derby.
“He is a great professional. The boy never complains. He is happy to play anywhere,” said the United manager.
“He has not always been a number one choice but he produces 30 performances a season and it is a contribution we are grateful for.
“At the present moment in time, he would be in the team if we got to the final.”
However, Ferguson remains concerned that United’s fixture list could hamper their bid to win four trophies this season.
He claimed that while Arsenal can afford to rest players in their Premier League game against Portsmouth on Saturday, he must pick a strong side for the early kick-off against Middlesbrough as United look to maintain their lead in the title race.
“Arsenal’s big advantage is that they can play Pat Rice at right-back and Arsene himself at centre-forward on Saturday,” quipped Ferguson.
“We have to play a team to win the game. We have a lunchtime kick-off at Middlesbrough and I do not think it is right.
The end of the UK’s military presence in Iraq is imminent after six years.
A memorial service has taken place in Basra for the 179 British personnel who have died during the conflict, attended by Defence Secretary John Hutton.
The focus was a memorial wall featuring the names of the 234 UK and foreign troops who lost their lives while serving under British command in Iraq.
Defence officials say plans for the withdrawal of British forces in Iraq are well advanced.
They began their official pull-out last month when the UK’s commander in the south of the country, Maj Gen Andy Salmon, handed over to a US general.
British troops took a step closer to withdrawal at the start of the year when Basra International Airport - used as a UK military base during the conflict - was passed to full Iraqi control.
The names of those who died on the UK’s Operation Telic were read out at the memorial service, which included Italian, Dutch, Danish, American and Romanian troops.
Army chaplain Father Pascal Hanrahan, who opened the ceremony, said: “Today is about remembrance and thanksgiving.
“We remember by name and acknowledge the ultimate sacrifice paid by the 234 men and women who lost their lives during Operation Telic.”
The last post was sounded by a buglar and prayers were said. There was also a roar overhead as a lone Tornado aircraft conducted a fly-past in tribute.
Lt Col Edward Chamberlain, commanding officer of Iraq-based battalion 5 Rifles, said: “We’ve been slowly working, as part of a coalition together over the six years, to achieve an end-state which is an Iraq which is secure, happy, at peace with itself and its neighbours.
“We’re slowly but surely transitioning towards that.”
Mr Hutton said the UK should be proud of what its troops had achieved.
“It’s been a long and hard campaign. There’s been no question about that, and we’ve paid a very high price,” he said.
“And the families of those who’ve lost loved ones here today will be thinking very hard about that - and we should all as well.
“But I think when the history is written of this campaign, they will say of the British military ‘we did a superb job’, as we would expect them to, and we should be very proud of what they have done here.”
BBC News defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt says there is a sense of relief for many British servicemen and women that their final tour of Iraq is winding down.
Some are now serving on their fourth tour, taking them away from home for two years out of the last six.
Our correspondent says many of them will look back with mixed emotions.
Southern Iraq is more peaceful than it was a year ago but when British forces invaded Iraq as part of the US-led coalition in 2003 few people imagined troops would still be in the country six years later.
As British forces prepare to leave Iraq, senior commanders admit they have learned lessons from the campaign.
It was a conflict that showed the strengths and weaknesses of the British armed forces.
There were acts of great heroism but also a force that came under great strain, fighting on two fronts - in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Asked about the UK presence in Iraq, the country’s president, Jalal Talabani, told BBC News: “This is a mission of liberation. For the first time British forces in Iraq are playing this role.
“In the past the British forces came to occupy against the will of the Iraqi people. This time they came here to liberate Iraqi people from the worst kind of dictatorship.”

Penny Ireland’s family is so scattered around the world that Facebook, the popular social networking site, has become the family’s No. 1 way to communicate.

We call it our living room,” the 56-year-old mother said by phone from her home in Houston, Texas. “Everybody can tell what everybody else is doing.”
“Everybody” includes Ireland’s five kids and her 83-year-old mother, who has a Facebook profile she accesses daily, Ireland said.
While online social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace are known hang-outs for younger adults and teenagers, older generations in recent months have been taking to the medium at a faster rate than any other age group, according to industry reports.
Many of these older folks use social networks to keep tabs on younger family members and they often find fruitful connections with their peers after they’ve friended all of their kids and grandkids, according to an informal survey by Stanford University professor BJ Fogg. Join a conversation on this topic at CNN’s Facebook page
The trend is still relatively confined. Only about 7 percent of people older than 65 have online social-networking profiles, according to research from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
But Facebook’s popularity is growing most quickly among women older than 55, according to a site called Inside Facebook, which tracks Facebook’s growth.
There are now about 1.5 million female users older than 55 on the site, the group says — roughly a 550 percent increase over six months ago. By comparison, membership among people younger than 25 grew by less than 20 percent over the same period, Inside Facebook says.
Facebook now says it has 200 million users, making its user base larger than the populations of all the world’s countries except China, India, the United States and Indonesia. Such a vast presence, coupled with news media buzz about all social media, has pushed online social networking to a “tipping point,” said Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist at the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Fogg, the Stanford instructor, said the trend has spread outward from college towns, where Facebook was first adopted, and inward from the American coasts. Facebook today has a global presence, with 70 percent of users living outside the U.S., the site says.
“We’ve reached critical mass where there’s been enough talk about Facebook and people have gotten so many invitations from their friends, they’re going, ‘OK, what is this Facebook thing? I’ve got to get onboard or I’m going to be left in the dust,’ ” Fogg said.
Parents who are interested in their kids’ online activities contribute to the sharp increase in older users on Facebook, said Linda Fogg-Phillips, a 49-year-old who, with her brother, co-taught a six-week class at Stanford called “Facebook for Parents.”
“Parents are finally at the point where they realize this is not going away. They better figure out how to get on it and they’d better figure out how to use it,” said Fogg-Phillips, who is a mother of eight in Las Vegas, Nevada. “It’s a snowball effect. It’s viral in a good sense.”
Older people often must overcome fears about privacy issues before they will join Facebook, Fogg-Phillips said. Once they do, they often find unexpected uses for the network, she said. iReport.com: Facebook, Twitter growing pains?
That was the case for Craig Costa, a 55-year-old fly-fishing guide in Park City, Utah, who said family members forced him to join Facebook.
Costa still finds parts of the site annoying, and isn’t comfortable having his personal information made public, but he has connected with old friends he wouldn’t have otherwise — including his ex-wife, who now is a Facebook friend of his current wife.
“It’s been really interesting because so many people have a connection to me,” he said. “I was married before and my wife is now talking to my ex-wife. And some of her old friends are telling old stories about me to my wife. It’s just bizarre for me.”
Costa said he also can more easily keep up with his 28-year-old son, who lives in New York and also keeps a Facebook page for his dog.
Karen Essman, 61, uses Facebook but said she has trouble convincing her peers to join social-networking sites. They often don’t understand the interface or are afraid of scams, she said.
“It’s a little bit more difficult for older people,” she said.
Margaret Brooks, 63, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, joined the site because there was no other place for her to see her 18-year-old grandson’s artwork.
She asked to be his friend online, and at first she worried he wouldn’t respond.
“I did think, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m old grandma. He doesn’t want to have anything to do with grandma on Facebook,’ ” she said. “But he did, and every time I send something to him he sends something to me.”
Joanne Woeppel joined Facebook so she could keep tabs on her 13 grandkids.
But the Web site also has helped the 71-year-old keep up with other people without changing her routine.
“I’m pretty much what you would call a loner. I’m content in my own company. I can find things to do to entertain myself that I don’t need to be out and about,” she said by phone from her three-bedroom house near Dallas, Texas. “I don’t go out to socialize.”
A former call center worker and aspiring sci-fi author, Woeppel visits the online social network about once a day. Spending time on Facebook, which she joined in September, helps her feel connected to family all over the country — especially to the youngsters, she said.
She has family members who live nearby, but says she’s found a way to communicate with them in their own language through Facebook.
“Let’s face it, kids that age aren’t really interested in talking to people my age very much. It’s more, ‘Hi grandma how are ya? … Bye!’ ” she said with a laugh. “That’s basically what I get from my grandkids, so if I can engage them through just a little bit of chit-chat [online], it’s a lot more than I can get over the phone.”
