Abou Diaby suffered a serious injury towards the end of Arsenal's 3-0 win over relegated Sunderland.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger confirmed the seriousness of the injury, saying: "There was a bad injury at the end and it looked very serious.

"We'll get him to hospital, but we don't know yet.

"It's frustrating the way it happened and it's not acceptable that those things should go on. He had no intention to play the ball.

"We want to make the maximum points, but I'm sorry for Diaby who worked so hard to come back and to get such a bad injury when he wants to be a part of the team.

"I'm not even thinking of the victory, I'm just very, very down."

Wenger says he will have to rotate his squad for Thursday's game against Manchester City.

Wenger continued: "We can rotate players.

"I left a few at home and we will rotate on Thursday night. If the team wins, that is the best preparation."
