London:Manchester United's top scorer Dimitar Berbatov will miss his club's Champions League semi-final against Schalke on Tuesday having failed to recover from a slight groin strain.
The Bulgarian also missed Saturday's Premier League win over Everton and whilst Sir Alex Ferguson claimed after that 1-0 triumph that he had no fitness concerns ahead of the first-leg encounter at the Veltins-Arena, Berbatov did not check in with the rest of his team-mates at Manchester Airport on Monday.
Although the former Tottenham man had been unlikely to start anyway, his absence is a blow as it denies Ferguson a useful attacking weapon on the bench should the match not go as planned.
