Manchester United skipper Nemanja Vidic has been named in their squad for the tour of Scandinavia.
The Serbian has now completed his recovery from a cruciate operation and is available to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
It is a welcome development given that both Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling are currently sidelined.
In addition, Brazilian full-back Rafael is still on international duty, meaning Ferguson only has four first-choice defenders available following the return of his Euro 2012 contingent.
"Chris Smalling is out for 10 weeks with his metatarsal operation and Jonny Evans is still just in light training," Ferguson told manutd.com.
"They are big losses and they will miss the start of the season.
"Rafael is away but we do have Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra.
"That will be the back four on tour.
"Hopefully we don't get any more injuries as it would leave me a bit short."
