Ben Arfa out for 3 weeks apparently

Not you again.

 

Or Arsenal.

 

time will tell if we've improved lewis, but wise words marra, and you's don't have nolan

 

I just worry that any little knock seems to put Arfa out for close to a month at a time. How's he gonna handle playing the likes of Stoke or Blackburn who really are out to stick a boot in?

 

Every little knock?! He had his leg broken in half, and got taken down in a dirty, reckless tackle from a **** SKC player. I'd hardly chalk those up to being a fragile player.

 

And who's to say he still wouldn't have had an ankle injury from the same tackle regardless of his leg break? I get a little annoyed that people try to link injuries when sometimes its just bad luck (not directed at your valid point)

 

another site says 6 to 12 weeks

"The agent of Hatem Ben Arfa has claimed that the talented Frenchman could be out for anywhere between 6-12 weeks thanks to the ankle injury sustained against Sporting Kansas City"

as there is no official confirmation i'll wait and see
