Arsenal's Eboue apologised for Terry tackle
-
LONDON : Chelsea's Salomon Kalou revealed Monday that Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Eboue had apologised to Blues captain John Terry for a tackle which threatens to keep the England centre-half on the sidelines during the busy Christmas and New Year period.
Terry sustained an ankle injury after being challenged by Eboue during Arsenal's 1-0 victory over London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium here on Sunday.
Kalou said he'd spoken with fellow Ivory Coast international Eboue after the match. "I was saying to Eboue that it was a red card because he did it on purpose - but he denied that.
"He said he tried to block the ball and it was not on purpose. He said sorry to John. He didn't mean to do it, but to apologise was a nice thing to do.
"John will be a big loss and is very important to the squad. We will miss him and it will be difficult to do it without him but we have the players to do that," Kalou added.
Chelsea manager Avram Grant said after the game he believed Terry had sustained ligament damage rather than a break although he would know more after the defender had undergone a scan on Monday.
Arsenal's win ensured they stay top of the Premier League by a point from Manchester United and left Chelsea in third place, six points off the lead. -
the dmg is worth more then just the 3 points ytd!

*Terry - Eboue deserved red*
John Terry has revealed he was 'convinced' he had broken a bone in his foot in the challenge he feels should have brought a red card for Emmanuel Eboue.
The Chelsea captain suffered the injury during the first half of his side's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday and it was initially thought nothing was broken.
Blues boss Avram Grant believed the defender may have hurt ligaments before a further X-ray showed up a broken metatarsal.
Terry expects to be out for up to six weeks and he was unhappy with the tackle by Eboue, which brought a yellow card for the Ivory Coast international.
Studs in
"I've broken the third metatarsal in my foot and reckon I'll be out four to six weeks," wrote Terry in his programme notes for Chelsea's Carling Cup quarter-final tie with Liverpool.
"Tackles have to be made in this game, and especially in a top-of-the-table clash like Sunday's at Arsenal, and I had to make the tackle on Eboue. I felt he left his studs in there and it should have been a sending-off.
"I thought straight away I'd broken something. That's how it felt. Even when the X-ray didn't show up anything on the day, I was convinced there was a break.
"So now I just get on with working hard to get fit again, come back as soon as possible once more and make more tackles." -
