In the absence of Ferdinand, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has used 20 years, Jonny Evans to replace.
Ferguson said there was no damage to long-term injury to Ferdinand, but he needed a long rest, both directions and Evra, he missed the game Wednesday Wigan on Saturday and also meet far in Bolton.
"Rio has been a professional and there are no major problems with his back, but it will not be involved against Wigan," added the Scot.
