Midfielder out three more weeks with hamstring problem

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has suffered an injury setback in his bid to return to action. The Frenchman has yet to feature for Arsenal this term after undergoing ankle surgery in pre-season. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was hoping to have Diaby back in November, but the 25-year-old has now picked up a hamstring problem to delay his comeback for a further three weeks. "You won't see him [Diaby] for a while, the next three weeks," said Wenger. "He will not play for France either.

Worried

"I am worried but I was more worried three months ago. His ankle was not good but the surgery went very well then. "Now his balance has changed so he has to adjust his muscular strength. He has had two small muscular concerns and if he can get rid of them in the next two to three weeks he will be ready. "It's a good time to get him right as we have a two-week break after Saturday."
