English Premier News :: Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar out for 8 weeks

Posted on 2009-08-05 by Gooner

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has had surgery on a broken finger and bone in his left hand and is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks.

The 38-year-old Dutchman sustained the injury saving a penalty from Danijel Pranjic in the Red Devils' 7-6 shoot-out defeat to Bayern Munich in the pre-season Audi Cup in Germany.

Van der Sar is not expected to be back in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans until late September, meaning the Scot will have to turn to either Ben Foster or Tomasz Kuszczak between the posts for the start of the new season.
