Hatem Ben Arfa's advisor has revealed that Nigel De Jong has yet to apologise for the tackle which left the Newcastle midfielder with a double leg break.
Ben Arfa was caught late by Man City midfielder De Jong and is now set to miss most of the season after signing for Newcastle on loan from Marseille less than two months ago.
Simon Stainrod, who advises Ben Arfa, said: "There's been no contact - De Jong hasn't been in touch at all. Brian Marwood, who is a top-class professional person, sent a note from Manchester City saying everyone wished him a speedy recovery and sent a gift - but that's it.
"A visit from De Jong wasn't put to him. Brian wanted to visit but Hatem was on morphine at the time. The facts of the matter are he hasn't been in touch and he hasn't apologised. Brian Marwood has been in touch, but not de Jong.”
