LONDON, England -- Manchester United captain Gary Neville is adamant that his career is not over and that he will return to first team action in the near future.
Neville is upbeat about his chances of returning to first team action at United.
The 32-year-old England international has not played a competitive first-team game for the Premier League champions since damaging ankle ligaments in a game against Bolton in March 2007.
His recovery has since been blighted by a string of niggling injuries as he bids to return to get back into the team.
Even though it is almost 11 months since his last game, Neville is adamant his career is far from finished.
"The fact I've been out for so long brings about speculation regarding whether or not I'll make it back. I understand that," the England defender told a club publication.
"Ironically my ankle has been okay for the last couple of months, I've just picked up little knocks here and there that have lasted a couple of weeks or so; they can really set you back when you've been out for so long.
"I'm training again and I am focused on getting fit. I'm not going to put a timescale on it or name a game when I'll be back. Once I get fit, and I'm doing the best I can to get to that point, I've no doubts I'll be okay." E-mail to a friend
