Arsenal hope to have Abou Diaby available for their clash with Stoke City.

The French midfielder returned to training on Wednesday and could feature in some way as the Gunners look to get back on track following their 1-0 defeat at Manchester United.

Diaby has been out for two months with an ankle injury.

He has not featured since the 2-1 win over Birmingham in October.
