Abou Diaby ruled out of Community Shield through fresh injury scare?

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby is reportedly a doubt for tomorrow's Community Shield meeting with Manchester City after suffering a fresh injury setback.

The 28-year-old, whose eight-year stint at the Emirates Stadium has been plagued by injuries, damaged his hip during pre-season and will sit out tomorrow's Wembley clash, French publication L'Equipe reports.

Diaby missed almost the entire duration of last season, making just one appearance which came on the final day against Norwich City.

Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign next weekend when they host Crystal Palace.
