According to the Daily Telegraph, Anders Lindegaard will make his first Manchester United appearance in over six months against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium next Saturday if David de Gea fails to recover from a dislocated finger, with former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes yet to be offered a contract at Old Trafford following a serious knee injury.
The Manchester United’s official Twitter account posted: “The Spain national team report David De Gea has dislocated a finger on his right hand. He remains with the squad where he will be assessed.” It is unknown right now whether he will be ready to go for the Arsenal match at the Emirates on the 22nd. De Gea has played every minute this season for United, where he’s been arguably the Premier League’s best goalkeeper.
David de Gea, who recently ascended to become the Spanish #1, supplanting Iker Casillas, injured a digit on his right hand during a session on Friday and will be unavailable for Spain’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus on Saturday. He will be monitored by Spain’s medical staff throughout the coming days, but is also likely to miss the friendly against world champions Germany next week. #DaveSaves has been played so strong this season that he’s rumored to be drawing interest from Real Madrid.
