Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand hopes not to sustain any more injuries in the next couple of months in order to be included in England's World Cup squad.

The 31-year-old has only started 11 Premier League games this season as he was repeatedly sidelined through injury.

After reaching full recovery, Ferdinand is looking to remain fit in the next weeks so as he can represent his country in the World Cup.

"Disappointing, frustrating, all those kinds of words spell it out for me really," he was quoted as saying by the Guardian.

"Fingers crossed I'll have an injury-free period now and I can go into the World Cup fairly fresh and be one of the guys with the fresh legs.

"Last season (and this one) has been the worst injury-prone (time) of my career, really. It took a bit of getting used to."
