Al Arabi midfielder Leonardo Pisculichi has been ruled out for four months after suffering a fractured foot.

The 25-year-old broke his left foot in Al Arabi's 2-1 win over Al Khor in round six of the Qatar League on Saturday.

Pisculichi had surgery on his foot in Aspetar Hospital yesterday and Al Arabi manager Mubarak Mustapha confirmed that the Argentinian "will be out for three to four months due to this injury".

The attacking midfielder was in the midst of negotiations about a contract extension and the injury will be a big blow.
