After suffering an amazing and
unlucky number of injuries, around 40, in his eight years as an Arsenal player, it is pretty incredible that Abou Diaby has not just thrown in the towel.
Not exact matches
The Arsenal boss has now moved to praise the winger, whilst revealing he is sometimes substituted simply to avoid
injury following a

The squad's fitness, focus and quality are Arsene's responsibility and I think he failed to add sufficient players to the squad last summer — definitely a striker and a mid fielder — would have helped but he was
unlucky with the
number of injuries which remains an ongoing problem.
My biggest gripe with wenger is his lack
of cb and dm buys in the summer, (and him going to Rome on dday) the
injury situation could have been predicted somewhat but I agree we've been particularly
unlucky with the
number out so far.
