Roy Keane has recovered from his knee injury and is fit for Manchester United's Champions League match with Panathinaikos in Athens tomorrow. Keane, who missed Saturday's 11 draw with Leeds, said: "The knee is fine. I just got a knock last week but I'm travelling out and raring to go. Hopefully we can get the result we need."

Paul Scholes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Mickael Silvestre and Denis Irwin have shrugged off minor knocks.

Ryan Giggs, though, has stayed behind for further treatment on his hamstring injury and Nicky Butt is suspended.

Irwin and Teddy Sheringham were told yesterday they will be offered new deals when their current contracts run out at the end of the season.

Both players signed one-year deals last summer but have yet to open talks about staying at Old Trafford past the end of this term. But chief executive Peter Kenyon has revealed United want to keep the pair at the club.

Leicester defender Frank Sinclair has suffered another setback in a nightmare season for injury problems and will be out of action for up to six weeks with damaged knee ligaments. The former Chelsea player sustained the injury during the first half of Saturday's 2-0 home success over Liverpool in a tackle with England midfielder Steven Gerrard.
