Van der Sar injury not serious
Monday 22 September 2008
Edwin van der Sar should be fit
to face Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, despite needing
to be substituted at Stamford Bridge in the first half.
The Dutchman playing for Manchester
United got injured in a collision with Chelsea forward
Florent Malouda in Sunday’s 1-1 draw.
Van der Sar played on briefly before
signalling to the bench that he could no longer continue.
“He got some studs in the
kneecap and there was a bit of swelling there,”
Sir Alex told MUTV
after the final whistle.
“Hopefully he’ll be
okay for next week.”
Van der Sar isn’t the only
Reds goalkeeper who’ll be visiting the treatment
room at Carrington this week.
Ben Foster fell awkwardly on his
ankle playing for United’s Reserves last Thursday
and is expected to be out of action for up to two months.
“Ben’s not had any luck,”
Sir Alex told media last Friday. “He’s been
blighted by injuries so far in his career.
“He’s a top goalkeeper
and I just hope he gets a little break now.”
Tomasz Kuszczak, who replaced van
der Sar at Chelsea, will almost certainly don United’s
goalkeeper jersey on Tuesday night when Middlesbrough
arrive at Old Trafford in the Carling Cup.
