Arrache challenge for Strasbourg

RC Strabourg's left-sided midfielder Salim Arrache has been ruled out until the new year after sustaining a leg injury at the weekend.

Hamstring pull
Arrache limped off the pitch just ten minutes into his side's goalless draw against near neighbours FC Sochaux-Montbéliard and scans on Monday revealed that he had pulled a hamstring. He will now miss Strasbourg's final UEFA Cup Group E game against FK Crvena Zvezda on 14 December.

European success
However, the 23-year-old's absence may not be so much of a problem for the Ligue 1 strugglers as Strasbourg have already sealed their qualification for the knockout phase with two wins and a draw in their opening three games in the group stage. However, they have yet to win a domestic league game this season in 17 attempts.
