Smith meant to hurt Diaby, blasts Toure

ARSENAL’S anger over Abou Diaby’s fractured ankle shows no sign of abating after defender Kolo Toure accused Sunderland’s Dan Smith of deliberately attempting to hurt the French midfielder.

Diaby is out of the Champions League final with a fractured and dislocated angle after the lunge by fellow 19-year-old Smith.

Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas has also expressed his bafflement at the challenge, which happened with only a minute left on the clock.
