Arsenal midfielder, Abou Diaby, could still earn himself a new contract at the club despite his record of injuries.
The Frenchman’s career has been plagued with injuries since he originally broke his leg and with his contract expiring in the Summer, it was expected that he would leave the Emirates, ending a 10-year association with them.
However, speaking ahead of their game with Everton, Arsene Wenger stated that if the midfielder can prove his fitness, a new deal will be offered to him.
Diaby is yet to play a single Premier League game this season and has once again suffered a setback, but his manager is eager to stick by him if he can prove his worth.
“Diaby is progressing in training, step-by-step, but he’s not in a position to play yet.
“I will have to talk to him soon (about the contract). I plan to do it in March.”
