Manchesdter United’s manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that his goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard could be out for “four, maybe five to six, weeks"
The 27-year-old Lindegaard, 27 has suffered ankle ligament damage in a training ground accident last week, another in a long list of injuries for the Barclays Premier League champions this season.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson told the club's official website: "It looks like Lindegaard will be out for at least four weeks, maybe five to six, with ankle ligament damage.
"We don't know what his recovery from injuries is like, so we'll have to wait and see, but I would have thought at least four weeks."
This will mean the return of Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea on Sunday – who has had a shocking spell at times with the club by producing some basic mistakes that have led to goals.
And Ferguson could also be able to call upon Wayne Rooney, Nani, Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young with the quartet all on their way back from injury lay-offs.
"We're a bit better off in terms of injuries," added Ferguson, who has led United to second in the League table this season, level on points with neighbours Manchester City.
