 Ferdinand picked up his injury at Craven Cottage
|
Manchester United are waiting to discover whether defender Rio Ferdinand will be fit for Wednesday's Champions League return leg against Inter Milan.
The England centre-back, 30, was placed in a plastic boot to protect his ankle after he was taken off at half-time in Saturday's FA Cup tie against Fulham.
"There's a small swelling to his ankle - we'll assess it on Sunday," United assistant Mike Phelan told BBC 5 Live.
"I'm not a medical person, so I don't know if he'll be fit for Wednesday."
Phelan added: "Jonny Evans is more than a substitute for Rio if he doesn't make it."

Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who watched his side keep their quintuple hopes alive with a 4-0 victory over Fulham in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, had his fingers crossed for the England international.
"Ferdinand is a bit of a concern," Ferguson said. "I hope he is all right for Wednesday because he is so important to us."
Defender John O'Shea also came off during the match, with a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan have just two fit centre-backs after losing Marco Materazzi and Nicolas Burdisso to injury in the first half of their 2-0 victory over Genoa.
Ahead of the game in Manchester, Inter coach Jose Mourinho said: "Christian Chivu, Walter Samuel, Materazzi and Burdisso are out."
The first-leg tie finished 0-0 in the San Siro last month.
