Man Utd expected Lindegaard back before season's end

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard is still expected to be back this season despite suffering a setback in his injury recovery.

The Danish gloveman has been sidelined since January with an ankle injury and was on the road to recovery before aggravating the problem at training.

Sir Alex Ferguson said Lindegaard will be given some extra time off to help get over the issue and expects him to be available for selection before season's end.

"He was training very well and maybe overdid it," said the United boss.

"We have given him a week off to give him a rest but he should be back before the end of the season."
