Diaby working like mad to get back. Training at altitude in French Alps this week. Back at #AFC April 1. Desperate to play this season (FF)

Diaby: 'Ive never given up hope of going to World Cup. Thinking of that has kept me going. Once Im back on pitch, everything's possible (FF)

Athletics trainer working with Diaby says '9/10 players would've given up. People who say Diaby is fragile are wrong. He is Highlander' (FF)

he feels indebted to Arsenal, who have stood by him, and he'd love to help them with the Cup

aims to be back in full training mid april, but Arsenal will assess him on april 1

Abou

Hats off to guy , other players (Hagreaves) would have throw in the towel ages ago

When I read that, this song came into my mind. Diaby in Rocky balboa mode running in those mountains

Abou to score a title winning goal this season :coffee:

Nothing would make me happier than to see Diaby back and healthy for good. Imagine him winning us something with a crucial goal and hugging Wenger on the touchline.

Now that I've thought about it, Diaby will be back April 1st.

April fool's MJ?

Wasnt Ox injured as well?

by MJ Thu 20 Mar 2014 - 19:08

The Guardian reported the Diaby story that he wants to be back then and wants to be in the WC squad.

Ox apparently had tightness in his calf but overcame it. Because Arsenal players always overcome minor injuries with no negative consequences. Always.

Diaby back to Arsenal on April 1st apparently.

April Fools?

just back to be assessed by Arsenal,ha

If Diaby actually comes back and helps us win the double... :whistle:

by Jay29 Fri 21 Mar 2014 - 11:35

Rosicky a doubt for tomorrow, will have a test today. Everyone else fine.

Koscielny out for 2 weeks apparently

In Arsenal time, that's 4 weeks. So Vermaelen-Mertesacker for the time being with Sagna as the back up.

We're literally limping over the finish line

injury update ahead of Man City clash

“Monreal should be the first one back in training because he is just starting to run in the next few days,” Wenger said.

“After him, Ramsey is progressing well but we need to be patient for a few more weeks.”

We should give Ramsey the rest of the year off, no need to bring him back.

by SamuelJayC Thu 27 Mar 2014 - 19:36

So Monreal is the only player nearing a return. How depressing.

Injury list:

Monreal
Ramsey
Ozil
Koscielny
Wilshere
Walcott
Diaby
Ryo

What the hell has happened to ramsey? How does he keep getting reinjured?

Screw signings. Spend ALL the money we have on a new medical staff and facilities. We could sign messi and it wouldn't matter because he'd just get injured whenever we needed him.

Ramsey has gone from "few weeks away' to "targeting North London Derby", to "two weeks away", to "few weeks away" Neutral

He thought nobody would notice the difference between "2 weeks away" and "a few weeks away" Laughing

We must have worst medical staff in premier league. Frustrating!

Reportedly we have one of the best in the country so who knows what happens on treatment table. What we do have is management who has habit to rush people back & occasionally ( or usually) lie about the status of player injuries so fans won't go on panic mode.

by VendettaRed07 Fri 28 Mar 2014 - 6:21

I wouldn't trust this medical staff to put on a bandaid at this point. They'd probably give the player a paper cut in the process of applying it.
