Marseille star to miss Arsenal clash

Mbia believes he is still 10 days away from making a return to action. The midfielder has been out of action since breaking his foot in August.

“I need to play, I miss playing football every week,” he said.

“I think in ten days I should be okay to start playing, fingers crossed.

“Hopefully I can show my value to the club because they need me at the moment. It has been a difficult season for us so far.

“But we won our last game (2-0 against Ajaccio) and that will help our confidence.

“I hope to return soon and play my part in helping the club enjoy a successful season.”
