Abou Diaby calms injury fears

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has played down suggestions that he suffered another injury in his return against Manchester City on Sunday.

The 26-year-old, who had previously not featured since September, played just over an hour in his side's 2-0 defeat to the Premier League champions at the weekend.

"I feel good physically. Of course I have been out for a long time so I am not at my best, but importantly I did not get any reaction. This is good for the future," he told Arsenal Player.

The Gunners currently occupy sixth spot in the Premier League table.
