If you havent heard, Foster is out for two months.
Sir Alex Ferguson has nothing but sympathy for Ben
Foster after ruling the Manchester United keeper out for up to two
months.
The United chief accepts that Foster's attempts to become a
top-class performer are being "derailed" by a string of injury
problems.
After missing most of last term, the former Stoke City
shot-stopper faces a long spell on the sidelines after hurting his
ankle in the reserves on Thursday, just when he was primed to mount
a challenge to Edwin van der Sar.
"The lad's not getting any luck at all at the moment," said
Ferguson.
"He came down on his ankle and is out for six to eight weeks
with ligament damage.
"He's not having any luck at all as he was coming on fantastic
in training, really well, and I made him sub on Wednesday [against
Villarreal] as an indication of his return to fitness.
"He's being blighted by these injuries and it's derailing his
career as a top keeper.
"I just hope he gets a wee break now and gets over this one and
doesn't get any more injuries.
"It's nothing to do with the previous injury, of course, as he
had a cruciate knee problem so it's got nothing to do with that.
It's just bad luck."
