South Korea midfielder Park Ji-Sung has been ruled out of the Manchester United squad for tomorrow's Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash at Roma with a knee injury.

Louis Saha and Darren Fletcher were the surprise members of the United party that travelled to Italy.

The duo, who have been missing for five weeks with hamstring and ankle injuries respectively, were expected to play for the reserves at Blackburn on Thursday.

Gary Neville (ankle), Mikael Silvestre (shoulder), and Nemanja Vidic (collarbone) were all previously ruled out.

Man United squad: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton, O'Shea, Brown, Ferdinand, Heinze, Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, Eagles, Giggs, Richardson, Rooney, Saha, Solskjaer, Smith, Dong
