New injury setback for former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby as boss casts doubt on return

Abou Diaby's career has been hampered by injury

ABOU DIABY has suffered a fresh injury setback with his Marseille manager admitting he does not know when the midfielder will return.

 

Diaby left Arsenal in the summer after nine years, having suffered multiple injuries during his time.

He was only able to make one appearance for the club last season but was given a lifeline by Ligue 1 side Marseille.

 

In October, it was thought that Diaby was close to making a comeback but his anticipated return was halted.

And now his coach at Marseille, Michel, has given a bleak update on Diaby's recovery.

 

He said: "I would like to talk about his performance, unfortunately this is not possible. 

"I hope that this will happen one day, he deserves it."

And when asked if Diaby will play this season, Michel replied: "I do not know."
