ian1964 10,666 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a ruptured knee ligament. The 26-year-old fell awkwardly just three minutes into Everton's 0-0 draw away to Newcastle on Sunday. He was stretchered off after receiving treatment and underwent scans on his right knee on Sunday night to ascertain the full extent of the injury. Arteta has been a key figure for Everton this season, making 31 appearances and scoring seven goals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 A real shame. A total accident, and Everton will really miss him. Missed most the first half so was wondering where he was. He has been awesome this year. Huge miss for Everton. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was a collision with Lovenkrands, right ? How about that Nolan tackle ? Worst tackle I have seen all year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,625 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Was a collision with Lovenkrands, right ? How about that Nolan tackle ? Worst tackle I have seen all year. Yeah it was Craig no intent on Lovenkrands part. Real shame for Arteta. Nolan's tackle got worse from the more angles they showed it 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Aw pish, he's been an ever-present in my Fantasy Football team. Time to get scouting for replacements... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Another player I have no time for after the lie he told (homesick) us to get a move back to Spain only to move to Everton a season later. Nasty injury considering nothing happened in the seconds before it. Still dislike him though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Got a lot of time for him. Talented player who deserves a shot with Spain. Pity he's up against so many top top players to get a starting berth. Everton have been so so unlucky this season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Arteta is now out for 6 months as confirmed by SSN. He will be a huge loss for Everton. I rate him and Cahill as probably there most crucial players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
