A first senior call-up has been handed to Oliver Gill for Manchester United's Champions League tie with Wolfsburg.

Nemanja Vidic has been ruled out of the game due to flu.

The list of injured defenders includes skipper Gary Neville and England international Wes Brown, who both limped off at Upton Park, plus longer-term casualties Rio Ferdinand, John O'Shea and Jonny Evans. With the Da Silva brothers, Fabio and Rafael, also sidelined, the only orthodox defender Sir Alex Ferguson has in his squad is left-back Patrice Evra.

Among the less familiar faces in the United party are Gill, son of chief executive David, Magnus Eikrem, Cameron Stewart, Matt James and Oliver Norwood.
