Well it seems the honeymoon is over. Arsenal supporters will be dreading to hear that in form Diaby has been ruled out of France’s match tomorrow. The midfielder who had a match winning performance in his country’s opening World Cup qualifier against Finland has sustained a muscular problem.
The player had made a stellar return to form for Arsenal this season, fighting back into the team after battling with injury. The news will dampen the mood around Arsenal as the player looked to be eager to continue his run of performances for both club and country. Abou Diaby is not the strongest player and has been dubbed as having a ‘fragile body’ which has halted his playing time over his career. Given an injury free chance, the player excels on the pitch, displaying his abilities in recent games for France and Arsenal.
Dider Deschamps has released a statement stating, ‘ Diaby took a bad shot and he has muscular discomfort. He is not free in his movement.’ The manager has ruled the Arsenal player out of Tuesday’s qualifier against Belarus. The 26 year old has had a torrid time, plagued with injury since his career threatening injury almost 7 years ago. The manager did not state for how long Diaby would be out for but muscular pain can be anything from a day to a month, depending on the severity.
At this stage, Arsenal will be hoping that the injury is only minor and that Deschamps is only leaving Diaby out as a precautionary measure. All Arsenal supporters will be hoping for a speedy recovery by the French international and in time to start in the Gunners next match against Southampton.
I wish it is not that bad
its just a minor injury
I wish him fast recovery
I think wenger has asked deschamps to rest diaby and deschamps has agreed but to save face diaby has a muscular problem in his leg. that where ots to spot the cover up. anyone who seen diabys legs will realise there is no muscle in them. when someone said his legs were like matchsticks i dont think they were referring to the fact they are brittle they were referring to the thickness of his legs!!
However i dont think diaby will play against southampton and montpellier. i expect to see a bit of rotation for the two matches especially with chelsea and city the next 2 opponents after those 2 not including coventry obviously.
coventry will be the hardest match of the lot lol
Wenger will play a team like this against Coventry:
Manonne
Jenkinson Djourou Miquel Santos
Coquelin Ramsey Eastmond
Gnabry Walcott Gervinho
Bench: Martinez Bellerin Angha Arteta Cazorla Eisfeld Akpom
we the gunners wish him a quick recovery…
wenga at work….
I wish diaby quick and speedy recovery.
Ope tis nt serious nt again i wish him quick recovery i belive in you wil came out more stronger!
What on earth is on you bloggers’ mind that you people don’t border or care if at all your headlines appear or sound false alarm in the name of attracting audience.
its a good thing that he will be out,,so that ma boy coquiline can get a game,,you all overrate diaby he is slow clumsy and selfish,,have you ever seen him on counter attack,,he always kills the pace n starts going round n round wit the ball,,lets all be honest for once,,coquiline is better
It`s not surprising that Diaby has a muscle strain, he`s been out for a long time and he`s played four full matches in as many weeks. He misses the international today and maybe the Southampton game but we can cope. Carzola, Ramsey and Arteta can make up the mid field.
I would suspect that Wilshere will have his ups and downs when he returns, the body needs time to adjust.
hes gunner make it
