Manchester United's Champions League hopes were boosted today after defenders Ronny Johnsen and Laurent Blanc were declared fit for tomorrow's semi-final clash with Bayer Leverkusen.
Johnsen has been out for the last three weeks since damaging his hamstring in United's quarter-final second leg win over Deportivo La Coruna.
Blanc returns for the second leg after twisting his knee in last Wednesday's 2-2 first-leg draw against Leverkusen at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson also confirmed all the players who sat out last weekend's Premiership win at Ipswich with various minor knocks are fit.
