Kuszczak ruled out

12 April 2012

Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has been forced to withdraw from the Poland squad for Euro 2008 after suffering a back injury in training.

The 26-year-old, who was vying for the number one jersey with Celtic's Artur Boruc and Arsenal's Lukasz Fabianski, has been ruled out for three weeks.
