Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby is flying around the world to find a cure to his injury problems.

The Sunday Mirror says the 25-year-old French star has been plagued by injury problems since his £2.5million move from Auxerre six years ago.

He was seen as the natural successor to Patrick Vieira in midfield, but his progress has been cruelly ­interrupted several times.

In his latest attempt to regain fitness, Diaby has spent the last fortnight in Qatar where he has ­undergone rehabilitation after an ankle problem.

This week he will switch bases to Miami, Florida, where he will work with a fitness trainer.

The ­projected date for his first-team return is ­mid-March.
