Since signing with Arsenal, Abou Diaby has made just 92 league appearances for the club and has, by talkSport’s estimations, suffered 35 injuries.

The frustration with Diaby’s injury-prone history at Arsenal is that he’s an amazingly gifted central midfielder who often makes a profound difference to the team when he’s in the side.

Diaby is currently recuperating from a knee injury that has ruled him out of action for eight to nine months after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training.
