Diaby ruled out for the season

Abou Diaby has been ruled out for the rest of the season after dislocating and fracturing his ankle.

Diaby sustained the injury when Sunderland's Dan Smith went in with a two-footed tackle.

The injury rules Diaby out for the rest of the season, including the Champions League final.

An Arsenal spokesperson said: "We'll have a clearer indication of the length of time in a couple of weeks."

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger slammed the tackle on Diaby, saying that Smith had no intention of playing for the ball.

Wenger said: "It is frustrating and unacceptable because the player had no intention of going for the ball in my opinion."
