Rushing him back is what got him this long ass delay in the first place. Hopefully he'll be in form by the time the semi-finals of the CL comes around.
Yeah, this kinda echoes my feelings on this. We have the depth to deal with the loss of Vidic, particularly against Middlesbrough, so I see no reason to rush him back into the squad when I highly doubt he's 100% match fit. If things are going smoothly on Sunday, then giving him 15-20 minutes would be alright with me, but I do not want to see him on from the get-go - ease him back into the squad. He'll be a great boost to the team if, fully fit, he's able to be selected for the CL and the last few games of the season.

Sunday:
Evra - Rio - Brown - Hargreaves/O'Shea
