Bruno Fernandes Injury: Hopeful to return for derby

Fernandes (hamstring) is hopeful to return for the Jan. 17 Manchester derby, reports The Times.

Fernandes has seemed impenetrable at times in his United career, so a month-long injury is a bit of a surprise. However, it's a true hamstring injury that will keep him out about a month. The hope is that he'll return to the pitch early January and get a few training sessions in before being available with the ultimate goal of starting the Jan. 17 derby.
