"Man Utd" defender Shinji Kagawa, who suffered a road injury, dropped out of the lineup for about a month.

The footballer got injured in this week's Champions League match against "Braga", which was won 3-2 by the English team.

"Kagawa will not play for three to four weeks. It's a shame that it happened like this," said coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, the Scot was pleased that defender Chris Smalling started training: "This is a big step forward. Soon Phil Jones should also join him."
