Manchester United's in-form striker Wayne Rooney has been given the all-clear to play a part in the club's Champions League clash with AC Milan on Wednesday evening.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side take a 3-2 lead into the game from the first leg in Italy.
Despite their three away goals, Ferguson believes their opponents still pose a threat to his team's progression in the tournament.
A win on the night, therefore is a priority.
"Wayne is fit; I'm glad to say he's fit," a relieved Ferguson revealed at a pre-match press conference earlier today.
"There is a rapid improvement since Saturday morning; when he looked extremely doubtful. He's okay."
On the balance of the two-legged affair, he added: "It's certainly an open tie.
"We'll see, first of all, a great game of football, and it will also be an open game.
"AC Milan have to score. We shouldn't treat the 3-2 lead as a bye into the later stage of the competition. We need to win the match."
