Gary Neville has hit back at
speculative reports suggesting his career may come to a premature end
after a long-running injury battle.
The Reds' skipper,
who turns 33 next Monday, has not played for United's first-team since
rupturing ankle ligaments against Bolton Wanderers last March.
Subsequent
niggles have further disrupted his progress. It has been a hugely
frustrating period for the right-back, but he insists his career is far
from over.
"The fact I’ve been out for so long brings about
speculation regarding whether or not I’ll make it back. I understand
that," he told United Review.
"Ironically
my ankle has been okay for the last couple of months, I’ve just picked
up little knocks here and there that have lasted a couple of weeks or
so; they can really set you back when you’ve been out for so long.
"I’m
training again and I am focused on getting fit. I’m not going to put a
timescale on it or name a game when I’ll be back. Once I get fit, and
I’m doing the best I can to get to that point, I’ve no doubts I’ll be
okay."
