Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson will be sweating on the news that goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has picked up a knock whilst on international duty with Holland.
United have made a slow start to the Premiership campaign, bagging just two points from three games. The squad has been ravished by injuries, particularly in attack, with Wayne Rooney out for seven weeks and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and Luis Saha also missing the start of the season.
The latest injury worry concerns van der Sar who was involved in a collision with Liverpool’s Dirk Kuyt during training with the Dutch national team.
The keeper needed immediate treatment to his foot and is now a doubt for Holland’s match against Switzerland on Wednesday.
"Edwin had a pain in his foot and we will put some ice on it," Holland manager Marco van Bastern said last night.
"We will see what the reaction is, but if it is wrong then we will have to call up another goalkeeper."
The full extent of the damage is not yet known however van der Sar may not feature in United’s crucial Premiership match against Tottenham on Sunday.
