cubaricho Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's hardly that bad of news really. The worst part is that I don't get to see him on Saturday "Hatem Ben Arfa sustained an injury to his left ankle in a tackle during the club's friendly against Sporting Kansas on Wednesday evening and went to a local hospital for a precautionary x-ray. Consequently he will be leaving the club's US tour tomorrow and the injury will be reassessed over the next 48 hours. " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not really, best thing to do, get him rested up and join the rest of the squad when they return. By all acounts he was flying in terms of fitness and conditioning anyway. Best to play it safe. Pardews sphincter must have twitched as he realised there would be no money to replace Ben Arfa if he gets a long term injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Late tackle from some cunt called Roger Espinoza apparently. Hope Tiote kidnaps him, chops his dick off and rapes his entire family while Espinoza is forced to watch while bleeding to death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Must have been one hell of a tackle. So glad it doesnt seem to serious, lets hope he's ok to play some remaining pre-season games. Could have been so much worse looking at that pic. OR maybe he's just the Glass man? http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/119455144.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921E86F5CE8BE5D78FBDE14E60177B99F7BA2509348E7D7904A350B8E55E1DB5675 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcmichael Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 If the x ray was serious enough for him to be sent home, that is v worrying Agree, if it's nothing serious then why not keep him in US, but anyway guess it's better to be on the safe side and not risk anything...

alexf Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 so pre-season so far = Guthrie + Ferguson "serious knocks" Then shameful pitch invasion.

James Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Doubt he would fly with a broken bone, so we can rule out a fracture. However muscle damage could still be severe. Must remember that such a long period out with such an injury can weaken muscles and make a player more susceptible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
