BENIK AFOBE has been ruled out of Huddersfield Town's FA Cup fourth-round tie at Arsenal on Sunday.

The 17-year-old's parent club were willing to let him play against them, but because the striker is on a youth rather than regular loan, he cannot figure under competition rules, it has emerged.

It means manager Lee Clark is missing two frontmen for the big tie, with 16-goal top scorer Jordan Rhodes out with a knee injury.
