Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has
been ruled out for five weeks due to a knee
injury.
Lindegaard finalised a move to Old Trafford at the start of the
January transfer window, joining from Aalesunds.
The Denmark international has made two FA Cup appearances for
the Red Devils so far, but will now spend a stint on the
sidelines.
The 26-year-old is due to undergo an operation on Thursday and
it is likely to be towards the end of April when he is fit to
return.
As a result of Lindegaard's injury, United have recalled Ben
Amos from his loan spell at Oldham Athletic to provide cover for
Edwin van der Sar and Tomasz Kuszczak.
Lindegaard is widely expected to be United's number two keeper
next season, with Sir Alex Ferguson tipped to sign a replacement
for the retiring Van der Sar in the summer.
