10/22/2002. Nicky Butt hasn't travelled to Greece for Manchester United's Champions League showdown with Olympiakos in Athens.
The midfielder joins other high profile absentees Roy Keane, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Rio Ferdinand back home.
Sir Alex Ferguson has all but ruled Butt out of Saturday's match with Aston Villa as well, although he gave hope that Ferdinand and van Nistelrooy will return to action.
He said: "It's possible both Ruud and Rio could be fit for Saturday.
"At the very worst it will be Southampton the following week and the same is true for Nicky. They just need a bit of time although we are still assessing what the cause of Nicky's injury is."

Am I alone on thinking that Stewart should start ahead of Phill Neville?
