Arthur faces 12 weeks out with stress fracture
- Published
Portsmouth defender Benjamin Arthur is set to be out for 12 weeks with a stress fracture in his back.
Arthur signed for Pompey on a season-long loan from Brentford in August and has played six games for the club this season.
But the 20-year-old was absent from the matchday line-up for their 2-2 draw with Blackburn.
"Benji's picked up a stress fracture in his back unfortunately; a massive blow to Benji, a massive blow to us as well," manager John Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.
"That's going to be one that keeps him out for quite a few weeks - we're probably looking at at least 12."
