Premier League - Fergie stands by under-fire Foster

Eurosport - Fri, 25 Sep 23:55:00 2009

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Ben Foster will keep his place for Manchester United at Stoke despite a day to forget during the derby clash with Manchester City last weekend.

2009-2010 Manchester United Ben Foster - 0

Tomasz Kuszczak had been tipped to step in for his first Premier League start of the season after he kept a clean sheet in the Carling Cup win over Wolves.

However, Ferguson has been quick to give Foster a public vote of confidence, insisting he will play at the Britannia Stadium.

"It was a good opportunity for Tomasz to play on Wednesday but Ben will play [at Stoke]," said the United boss. "Ben has not had a lot of game experience but he will be OK."

Meanwhile, Ferguson confirmed he expects first-choice goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to be out for another three weeks.

The veteran Dutchman suffered two broken fingers in a pre-season game against Bayern Munich in July and was immediately consigned to a couple of months on the sidelines.
