Diaby to miss three more weeks for Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed that Abou Diaby will be sidelined for at least three more weeks.

The 25-year old French midfielder is yet to make an appearance for the Gunners this season after undergoing ankle surgery in the summer but will have to wait a bit longer to taste action this term after injuring his hamstring.

"You won't see him for a while, the next three weeks," Wenger told reporters. "He will not play for France either.

"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."
