Man Utd keeper De Gea confident being fit for Arsenal clash

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is confident of making their clash with Arsenal.

The Daily Mal says De Gea dislocated his little finger during a training session for the Spanish national team last week but the injury is understood to have improved to such an extent that the player now believes he has a high chance of starting at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.

Sources close to the Spanish national team say De Gea has "an 80 per cent" chance of making the starting line-up when United return to Barclays Premier League action this weekend.

The Spaniard will be assessed by United's medical staff and goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek upon his return to Carrington and providing the swelling continues to go down, he should be passed fit for Saturday's game.
