Frustrated Wenger blasts Les Bleus over Diaby injury

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is frustrated with Abou Diaby’s latest injury and has accused the French federation of failing to heed his warning over the player.

The 26-year-old has endured a torrid time with injuries ever since breaking his ankle at Sunderland six years ago and made just five appearances last season.

Diaby had looked back to his best at the start of this campaign and was in splendid form until he was forced off 17 minutes into Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
