Arsenal's Frimpong to miss 6-9 months

Soccer Betting Lines

08/19/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong could miss the entire English Premier League season after tearing ligaments in his knee, including the cruciate, the club announced Thursday.

Frimpong suffered the injury during training with Arsenal's reserves and will miss six to nine months.

"A cartilage is three to four weeks, but a cruciate like that one Frimpong did is six to nine months," Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said on the team's website. "I rate him highly and I still have a lot of faith in him, but we will miss him for six to nine months."

The 18-year-old helped Arsenal's U-18 team capture the Premier League Academy title last year, and started in Arsenal's preseason matches against AC Milan, Celtic and Legia Warsaw.

Wenger praised Frimpong, who could play internationally for England or Ghana, after his performances.

"Here you have a boy who can choose between England and Ghana, so if I was in your place I would have no hesitation and invite him very quickly to play for England," Wenger said.

"I think he will have a big future."

Arsenal tied Liverpool in its Premier league opener Sunday and hosts Blackpool on Saturday in its second match.
