Arsenal midfielder Diaby suffers fresh injury setback

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby is likely to miss the Community Shield with a hip injury.

The Mail on Sunday says Diaby is set to miss Sunday's Community Shield clash with Manchester City, after suffering yet another injury setback.

The injury-prone Arsenal midfielder missed almost the entirety of last season with a knee problem, making his only appearance in their final game against Norwich City, and looked set to a return to the first-team fold.

He returned for the Gunners in their first pre-season friendly against Boreham Wood in July, but is believed to have picked up the hip problem during their US Tour game against New York Red Bulls.
