Aliadiere out six more weeks with thigh injury

Lorient forward Jeremie Aliadiere is expected to be out for a further six weeks after failing to recover from a thigh injury.

The former Arsenal forward tore a thigh muscle in October and the club said Monday that he now needs further treatment because the muscle has failed to scar properly.

The 28-year-old Aliadiere was signed 11 years ago by Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger as a promising teenager, but his career was blighted by numerous injuries and he played only 29 league games in six years with the Gunners.
