Defensive duo Rio Ferdinand and John O'Shea have handed Manchester United a boost by returning to full fitness.
But manager Sir Alex Ferguson still has problems at the back after Patrice Evra limped off against Sheffield United.
"Rio and John will be back on Saturday, so that should give us a bit more strength and experience in the back line," said an upbeat Ferguson.
Evra will be sent for a scan on his left leg after being hurt by Sheffield United's Colin Kazim-Richards.
But it already appears certain the Frenchman will miss Saturday's home encounter with Middlesbrough.
Ferdinand has made a quick recovery from the groin injury he sustained in the FA Cup win over Watford on Saturday.
But fellow defenders Gary Neville, Mikael Silvestre and Nemanja Vidic remain sidelined.
Neville has been missing since suffering an ankle injury in the win against Bolton in March but may be fit to face AC Milan in the Champions League on 24 April.
Silvestre is out for the rest of the season after dislocating a shoulder while Vidic is still nursing a broken collarbone.
Against Sheffield United on Tuesday, Ferguson was forced to employ midfielders Darren Fletcher and Kieran Richardson as emergency full-backs.
"It was a great challenge for them but they came through it well," said the Scot, whose side won 2-0 to move six points clear at the top of the Premiership.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits he feels torn about the prospect of leaving Anfield for a new stadium.
But the Reds skipper insists he backs plans to build a new ground in Stanley Park and boost the club's ability to generate more cash for quality players.
Gerrard told LFC Magazine: "I'd love to stay at Anfield but you have got to look at the bigger picture.
"I see the pros and cons for financial reasons but to win things, the time has come for us to go for it."
Gerrard witnessed another classic night of Anfield glory on Tuesday as Liverpool secured an away goals victory against Barcelona to seal a Champions League quarter-final slot.
New American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks also experienced that themselves for the first time but also used their visit to discuss plans for the new Stanley Park venture.
And England midfielder Gerrard has revealed he will be "gutted" when the doors are finally closed on the old stadium for the last time.
But he added: "The Liverpool supporter in me says I want to stay at Anfield because it's the spiritual home.
"But as a player I want to be up there competing for every single trophy we can win.
"When you look at Manchester United and Arsenal they are pulling in more punters than we are and it makes a difference to our revenue. We are playing catch-up every season."

Chelsea's Andriy Shevchenko has claimed he is the scapegoat for a rift between manager Jose Mourinho and Stamford Bridge owner Roman Abramovich.
The £30m striker revealed tension behind the scenes in an interview with German tv website sport.ARD.de.
He said: "It's true I have complained about Mourinho, but there are a lot of things which drove me to that.
"A few months ago I suddenly became his dartboard because he was having a spat with the president at the time."
The Ukrainian has failed to produce his best form since moving from AC Milan to Chelsea in the summer.
But he appeared to make it clear where his loyalties lie, saying: "I'm an employee of the club so I do what the president says."
He revealed he has been frustrated, saying: "The manager never spoke to me or played me in the position where my strengths lie.
"It's also no secret that I was more on Mr Abramovich's wish list than the manager's.
"In the transfer talks, Mr Mourinho seemed positive and happy at first."
But Shevchenko claimed the relationship changed because of a rift between Mourinho and Abramovich.
He said: "A manager should be objective and not take it out on a player. For the first time in my career a manager said in public that I did not completely fit in with his plan.
"That's not exactly great motivation. If he thinks that why am I here?
"One on one with me he cleared the matter up and said his opinion had been twisted. But inside it still bothers me.
"I don't like arguing but I don't forget things either. If the club boss asks me again what I think of the manager then I'll speak for me personally."
Shevchenko, who also admitted he is struggling to settle in London, added: "Mourinho is a very good manager, but I don't fit into his system. In any event I know it can't carry on like that.
"Our relationship is professional. Nothing more nothing less. He is a tactical fox and has strict beliefs, but I've had better managers."

Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo has opened talks with Manchester United on extending his contract.
But the 22-year-old, whose current deal expires in 2010, repeated his desire to play in Spain one day.
"We have talked and I hope to reach agreement as soon as possible," he told Portuguese radio station Antena 1.
"Nothing has been decided yet and I would like to stay. I would like to play in Spain one day, but I am happy here at Manchester."
United would be keen to tie down a player manager Sir Alex Ferguson has described as the best player in the world.
Ronaldo has been subject of speculation linking him with an end-of-season move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
He added: "You can never be certain of anything in life but I am happy here and I want to stay here. In football there are no guarantees.
"If I don't leave now, if I leave in two, three, four, five years I would be happy, I am at a great club."
Ronaldo joined United from Sporting Lisbon for £12m in August 2003, on a five-year contract which he extended by a further two years in November 2005.
Meanwhile, departing striker Henrik Larsson has ruled out returning to international football with Sweden.
Larsson's winner in his last game for United sent the Reds into the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday.
And it was rumoured he was weighing up a return for his country against Northern Ireland on 28 March in Belfast.
But he said: "That will not happen, my time with the national team is finished.
"They have great forwards already with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcus Allback and Johan Elmander - they will do just fine without me."

Dirk KUYT is the club's leading marksman in the Premiership with nine.
Steven GERRARD is the only remaining player to have figured in at least a part of each of Liverpool's Premiership games this season.
If he plays, Steve FINNAN will be making his 400th career League appearance (Birmingham, Notts Co, Fulham and Liverpool).
MANCHESTER UNITED
Cristiano RONALDO is United's top scorer with 16 goals. They're all in the Premiership, which leaves the Portugal World Cup star one behind Chelsea's Didier Drogba at the head of the race for the Barclays Golden Boot.
Ryan GIGGS is a double short of 100 League goals.
If he plays, GIGGS will be making his 700th appearance for Manchester United.
Wayne ROONEY is a brace shy of 50 goals for the Red Devils.
If on the field from the outset, Rio FERDINAND will be making his 200th start in a United shirt.
FERDINAND has scored two goals in his last two Premiership appearances against Liverpool, and only four goals in his entire career with United.
If selected in the 11, Paul SCHOLES will be making his 300th Premiership start for the Red Devils.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had told Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho to "button his lip" for the rest of the season.
Ferguson also accused Mourinho of reacting badly when refereeing decisions have gone against the Blues.
The United boss said: "He's come out with stuff this week about us and I expected that.
"He's been talking about referees and I think he is the last person who should talk about referees."
Mourinho had claimed earlier this week that United's challenge for the Premiership and Champions League titles had been helped by a combination of good luck and controversial refereeing decisions.
United currently lead Chelsea at the top of the Premiership by nine points, having played a game more.
Ferguson's men could go 12 points clear with victory over Liverpool, as Chelsea do not play until Saturday evening.
Mourinho had drawn particular attention to United's Champions League win over Lille and their Premiership victory over Tottenham.
But Ferguson responded: "His football club have been involved with so many things with referees over the years.
"It seems to me that if you contest something and they don't get their own way, there's something happens, whether it's referees or players threatened or something like that.
"It's an incredible club, so I think he should button his lip now for good for the rest of the season, " said Ferguson who claimed to have a dossier on Chelsea's misdemeanours.
"There's plenty of talk about Chelsea and referees and Jose and referees. I have a big catalogue on it but I'll leave that for another day."
Ferguson also condemned Chelsea's role in the brawl that marred their Carling Cup final victory against Arsenal.
He said: "I think the clubs have to hold their hands up, we've had to do it ourselves, we're not exempt.
"Over the years there have been situations we've had to control and we've had some feisty players."

Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been ruled out for a month after undergoing knee surgery.
The 34-year-old Norwegian star had an operation after scoring in United's 3-2 FA Cup fifth round win at Reading.
Solskjaer has already spent two years on the sidelines with knee trouble.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "It was good timing with the international break coming up. It gave us the opportunity to get the thing done."
He added: "We could get the knee sorted out and get it cleaned out. It's nothing serious."
Solskjaer, who has scored 10 goals this season, will miss United's Champions League second leg against Lille, the FA Cup quarter-final with Middlesbrough and a league fixture against Bolton Wanderers.
He should be available for the visit of Blackburn Rovers on 31 March.

Originally posted by CoolMyth:If he's already at your club, the only option is to send him to a feeder club.
Best is Belgium or Poland. Only need 2.5 years for an EU passport.
I'm not quite sure how to re-apply for work permits in the game. I presume if it is not approved initially, it's very hard to get it approved later. You won't have something like Mark Gonzalez for Liverpool in real life. Of course, maybe I missed something.
so just send him to feeder club n wait for w/p to approve?

Ukraine striker Andriy Voronin is to join Liverpool in the summer on a four-year deal, BBC Sport understands.
The 27-year-old, who is a free agent in the summer, has reportedly agreed a four-year deal with Liverpool.
Part of the Ukraine side that reached the World Cup finals in 2006, Voronin has scored six goals in 20 league games for Leverkusen this season.
No-one was available from the German club to confirm further details of Voronin's transfer to Liverpool.
Voronin played twice against Liverpool two years against when Rafa Benitez's side beat Leverkusen 6-2 on aggregate en route to winning the Champions League in 2005.
The Ukraine striker also featured in Leverkusen's 3-2 win over Blackburn in the Uefa Cup on Wednesday.
He played for Leverkusen on Saturday as they lost 1-0 to Hannover in Germany's Bundesliga and missed a good chance late on.
If the deals goes through, Voronin's transfer would be the first under the new regime of George Gillett and Tom Hicks after the American tycoons agreed a takeover of Liverpool earlier this month.

David Beckham scored on his return to Real Madrid's starting line-up in the 2-1 win over Real Sociedad on Saturday.
The 31-year-old equalised with a 25-yard free-kick in the 37th-minute of his first start since 20 December.
Madrid coach Fabio Capello had vowed Beckham would not play for Real again after he last month agreed to a lucrative move to Los Angeles Galaxy.
But Capello had a change of heart this week, saying he had been impressed with Beckham's professionalism in training.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, another ex-Manchester United star, scored the second-half winner in a victory that lifts Real into third place in the Primera Liga.
It also eased the pressure on Capello after two consecutive defeats.
