Edwin to miss Roma clash
Edwin van der Sar will miss AS Roma's Champions League visit on Tuesday after injuring his toe at St. Andrews in the Reds' 1-0 win.The Dutch goalkeeper fell awkwardly after what appeared to be a routine gather mid-way through the first half and United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed he would now be sent for a scan. He played on after receiving treatment – Rio Ferdinand assumed goal kick responsibilities – but failed to reappear for the second half.
His replacement, Tomasz Kuszczak, kept the Reds in the game with a superb reaction save moments after Cristiano Ronaldo had sent United into the lead.
In his post-match interview on MUTV, Sir Alex confirmed Kuszczak will now be handed his Champions League debut against the Giallorossi on Tuesday.
"I think Edwin's damaged his toe - to what extent I don't know but we'll send him for a scan," the boss said. "He'll be out for Tuesday, that's for certain. It's a worry when you lose a man of his experience but Tomasz Kuszczak is very able and I'm pleased we've got someone as good as that
