Marseille making plans for Nigel
Marseille are planning legal action against Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong over the tackle which broke Hatem Ben Arfa's leg.[LNB] The France midfielder, who is on a season-long loan at Newcastle from the Mediterranean club, was ruled out for the bulk of that period after having his tibia and fibula broken by the Dutchman's challenge last Sunday.[LNB]And Ben Arfa's parent club have responded angrily, with president Jean-Claude Dassier telling French television programme Telefoot: "We will file a claim against De Jong. It's about getting rid of this type of individual from European grounds."[LNB]De Jong escaped sanction at the time but has since been dropped from the Holland squad as punishment, with coach Bert van Marwijk saying: "It was a wild and unnecessary offence. He went in much too hard.[LNB]"I have a problem with the way Nigel needlessly looks to push the limit. I am going to speak to him."[LNB]Dassier also promised to offer support to the winger in his recovery, saying: "Ben Arfa asked our medical staff to help and we will do everything we can to help him, obviously."[LNB]
