Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Nani should return to training this week.

The Portuguese winger has missed the club's last three matches with a foot injury that he suffered during a training session.

However, Nani, along with teammate Phil Jones, has recovered from his complaint and could be part of the squad that takes on Fulham next Monday evening.

"There are no problems with injuries," Ferguson told the club's official website.

"It's much better now. There was Jones getting that bout of 'flu but he's back. Jones was actually back on Friday but we didn't risk him on Sunday. He'll be available [for the Fulham game].

"So they're all training apart from Nani, who should not be far away and might start training this week, while Anderson and Michael Owen are the only other ones out."

Nani has made 24 league appearances this season, scoring six goals in the process.
