da apostaganha： Captain Gary Neville will miss Manchester United's pre-season tour to North America after picking up a calf injury.
da 888： The 35-year-old full-back will stay at home when the club fly out for their five-game schedule on Monday.
Neville, who signed a one-year contract extension at the end of the last campaign, made 27 appearances last season after finally shaking off Achilles and calf problems which had plagued him for the past 18 months.
"Gary has suffered a minor setback in training with a small tear to his calf muscle," a spokeswoman told the club's official website.
"He therefore won't be going on the tour as it will be more beneficial for him to remain at Carrington to improve his chances of being ready for the start of the season."
Neville will join injured quartet Rio Ferdinand, Owen Hargreaves, Antonio Valencia, Anderson and Michael Owen plus England World Cup pair Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick in missing out on the tour.
The trip begins with a training camp in Chicago before a friendly against Celtic in Toronto on July 16.Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
