Spotlight falls on Kuszczak

TOMASZ KUSZCZAK could find himself in the firing line for Manchester United on Sunday as Alex Ferguson awaits news of a fitness report on Edwin van der Sar.

The veteran Dutchman failed to play any part in his country’s defeat to Switzerland on Wednesday night after injuring his left foot in a training ground collision with Dirk Kuyt.

While the damage was not serious enough to force Van der Sar into an immediate flight back to the north west, he must be a major doubt for Spurs’ visit to Old Trafford, when United will be looking to get their Premier League title defence up and running after a stuttering start.
