Arsenal may sue Smith over tackle
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed the club are considering legal action against Sunderland defender Dan Smith after his foul on Abou Diaby on Monday.
Diaby, 19, is out of the Champions League final after Smith's dangerous lunge left him with a fractured and dislocated ankle. Wenger and several of Diaby's team-mates were fuming after the incident in Arsenal's 3-0 victory at the Stadium of Light, with Kolo Toure claiming 19-year-old Smith deliberately tried to hurt the French midfielder.
"In my opinion that is a shame because it was a bad kick and an unnecessary one," the French manager said after the match. "It is one thing to lose a player but the spirit of the way he has been kicked, and (Cesc) Fabregas a few times, is just not acceptable."
