Laurent Blanc is expected to start for Manchester United against beaten Champions League finalists Bayer Leverkusen in Germany tomorrow night.
Blanc was rested for Saturday's 1-0 Premiership win over Tottenham.
Fit-again Gary Neville is also in the squad and could make a return at right full-back.
Ferguson will decide between Neville, his younger brother Phil and Ireland's John O'Shea for the right-back berth if Blanc returns to partner Rio Ferdinand in the centre.
Nicky Butt is fit and will continue in midfield alongside David Beckham, Juan Sebastian Veron and Ryan Giggs.
Provisional Squad: Barthez, G Neville, Blanc, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Beckham, Veron, Butt, Giggs, P Neville, van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Forlan, O'Shea, Stewart, Pugh, Tierney, Ricardo.
