Young star injures knee
ARSENAL midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is facing a season on the sidelines after injuring his knee in training.
Emmanuel, 18, figured heavily in pre-season and has been tipped for great things following dynamic displays in the Emirates Cup and other friendlies.
The powerful midfielder injured his cruciate knee ligaments this week and is expected to be out for six to nine months.
He follows Samir Nasri, who has undergone surgery for his own knee problem, into the list of Arsenal crocks.
