Arsène Wenger is hopeful that the injury sustained by Abou Diaby in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Manchester City last night is nothing too serious.

The French midfielder, who started the game well in a threatening second-striker role, was bandaged and taken off after half an hour by Wenger, but the boss has revealed he was just being cautious.

"Diaby has a cut, we don't think it is serious," said the manager. "He says he has double vision so I took him off straight away because I didn't want to take a chance with that.

Wenger also admitted that he might use Diaby in a more attacking role again in the future.

"He started very bright, he was very bright from the start and I feel in that position he can do well."

Someone else who's doing well is Tomas Rosicky, who, after struggling for goals all season, now has two in his last two games, and Wenger believes his Czech midfielder could finally be ready to replicate Robért Píres' success in front of goal for Arsenal.

"When I chose Rosicky he was the closest player I found to Píres. The difference as you say, he's been marvellous for us but he has been many times injured and he didn't get the goals Robert got. But as you say, at the start Robert didn't score too much."
