Man Utd suffer keeper crisis as Lindegaard out 4 weeks

Manchester United have lost goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard for four weeks. The Daily Mail says Lindegaard has been ruled out for up to four weeks with an ankle injury, handing Sir Alex Ferguson a goalkeeping dilemma for Manchester United's clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Ferguson must decide whether to pitch Ben Amos into the biggest game of his career or put his faith in under-fire David De Gea, assuming he is fit.

Amos, 21, kept a clean sheet on his Premier League debut in Tuesday's win over Stoke after Lindegaard turned his ankle in training and De Gea was declared unfit.

De Gea, a £17.8million summer signing from Atletico Madrid, came in for more criticism after last weekend's FA Cup defeat at Liverpool.
