// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta has encountered a problem in his recovery from a serious knee injury.[LNB] The Spanish playmaker snapped a cruciate ligament during a match against Newcastle in February.[LNB]He had been making steady progress and manager David Moyes had hoped at one point to have him back in the fold by November.[LNB]However, Arteta has now suffered an infection in the knee and Moyes has confirmed it will delay his return to action.[LNB]He said: "He had an infection from some bacteria so it has been washed out. It is a setback but I could not tell you exactly how long that will be."[LNB]The news will come as a major blow to Moyes, who has missed Arteta's creativity during the early part of this season.[LNB]The Toffees have had to battle on with a lengthy casualty list in recent weeks and are still languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.[LNB]
