Despite enduring a series of injuries that have significantly impacted his career, Abou Diaby remains a part of Arsenal’s plans. Over the past four seasons, the French midfielder has only played 67 minutes in 22 games, but the club has not yet given up on him.
Arsène Wenger, Arsenal’s long-time manager, spoke about his discussions with Diaby, emphasizing that the decision regarding his future will be based on his performances. “We talked and I told him what I envisioned for him,” Wenger said, hinting that an agreement could be reached if Diaby proves he can remain fit and contribute over a longer period.
Wenger made it clear that Diaby understands the situation, and his future at the club hinges on his ability to demonstrate that he can stay healthy. “He now has to make a decision but he fully understands that he has to prove he can play for a long period,” Wenger concluded.
The coming weeks will be pivotal for Diaby as he considers his options with Arsenal.
