Foster unsure over return date

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster admits he is facing an uncertain summer as he prepares for surgery on a cruciate knee ligament injury. Highly-rated stopper Foster admits "It's very early to say what the outcome may be." The 24-year-old had been suffering knee problems during the latter half of last season, which he spent on loan at Watford, and he pulled out of the England B international with Albania at the back end of last month to undergo tests. "It's irritating rather than really painful. I thought it had cleared up after it troubled me last season," Foster told the Daily Mirror. "I'm having it scanned and we'll take it from there but it's very early to say what the outcome may be. "I suppose if something has to be done this is the best time because I've got loads of time before the start of the new season."
