Arsenal’s forgotten man Abou Diaby believes he will return to the top of the game, despite not kicking a ball in anger for the Gunners in over a year.
Diaby has been blighted by a series of injuries but has vowed to return stronger than ever after suffering a serious cruciate knee ligament injury last March.
The 27-year-old still can’t put an exact date on his return, but is trying to remain focused.
‘I never had such a long break,’ Diaby told France Football. ‘I never had a knee injury and it is really weird. You can feel physically there is something different.
‘But I learnt a lot from my injuries. I can keep things in perspective.
‘Even now I am very close to the end of my specific work, I keep things in perspective.
‘I can master my impatience. I want to be back being strong, very strong and perfectly at ease in my body.
‘I work hard without asking questions. I work hard because I know in the end I will play again.

Diaby wants to make the World Cup - so that he can get injured over there and miss our pre-season again

I would love it if he got over his injuries and became an important part of the team. When he does play he hss around 4/5 games 3 of which he's terrible and the rest he looks lile Vieira or Yaya toure. A consistent run in the team should add consistency to his play.
We've seen RVP and Rosicky overcome their injury problems. Even Owen Hargreaves had an injury free season if I remember correctly
