Former Arsenal superstar Abou Diaby [PHOTO: COURTESY]Former Arsenal superstar Abou Diaby has had a career full of injuries which have cost the Frenchman a chance to fulfil his potential as the next Patrick Vieira. Diaby who signed for Arsenal in January 2006 from french club Auxerre at the same time Emmanuel Adebayor signed for the club from AS Monaco. His body did not recover from a reckless challenge by Sunderland's Dan Smith when the game was all over as Arsenal won 3-0. The injury sustained was a broken ankle and ruptured ligaments and in the process of recovering from such an injury Diaby's body took the brunt. Diaby moved to Marseille on a free transfer last season as his Arsenal career was over.
