Diaby to be sidelined for three weeks

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has received a boost with the news that Abou Diaby will miss only three weeks through injury, ESPN reported.

Diaby was substituted with a thigh problem during the first half of the Gunners' match with Chelsea on Saturday, which they lost 2-1. After the game, Wenger said Diaby would be out for a "minimum" of three weeks.

It has now emerged that the France international will be sidelined for no longer than the minimum period Wenger envisaged.
