Arsenal youngster suffers serious facial injuries

Emannuel Frimpong is being treated for what is deemed to be a severe injury.

The Arsenal midfielder who is on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers went down after a terrible kick in the face in a challenge for the ball during Wolves’ match against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Frimpong was stretched off in the 56th minute in severe pain, requiring him to wear an oxygen mask.

The combative midfielder was slowly becoming a favourite at the Molineux as he impressed again today, combining well with goalscorer Kightly in Wolves’ first goal of the match in a 3-2 defeat.

Incoming reports claim the 19-year-old suffered a serious kick in the eye and as a result, the youngster is set for quite a spell on the sidelines.

The Ghanaian has been admitted to the hospital with what has been described as “serious facial injuries”.

This is not the first time Frimpong has been stricken by a big injury blow in his career. The Arsenal boy suffered a serious knee injury in 2010 which kept him out of action for over a year.

And after displaying his strong character by returning to the game in impressive fashion this season, Frimpong’s resolve will be tested again with this new injury woe.

We all wish Emmanuel a speedy recovery.

I bet you a million dollars…he would NEVER sustain such a HORRIFIC injury had he been a ManU player on loan……

I have seen the challenge made by either warnock or petrov. it was an honest challenge where frimpong went down low to header a clearance and the aston villa player went for the ball with his foot. I WILL BE VERY SURPRISED IF FRIMPONG DOES NOT PLAY WOLVES NEXT GAME. it looks innocous enough and if the injury is worse than it is then Wenger has to go because he is carrying some major bad luck.

Was this not the site that wrote an article laughing at the fact Frimpong kicked a ball in VDVaarts face last week…….ohh the irony.

The little twit never made an attempt to come over and check if VDVaart was ok, now he is hospitalized with a facial injury….how funny.

See the difference between a spurs and arsenal player is defined in 1 week…..VDVaart got up and played on…..Frimpong is probably waiting for Doctor Khan in A&E at Birmingham hospital…KO’d

You must be drunk.

Never was an article making fun of that incident published on Red London. On some other blog, yes.

Frimpong has fractured his cheekbone, out for 3 months. Speedy recovery for him i hope.

No Jamie. It is not a fractured cheekbone. Apparently it is only a swelled eye, which players in his position often get from time to time. I fully expect him to play for wolves’ next game.
