Abou Diaby Ankle Could See Him Miss France Call-Up

Abou Diaby had his ankle stepped-on by Michael Essien in Arsenal's 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge Sunday. Thought the incident occurred in the moments before halftime, the Gunners midfielder was about to persist until the 70th minute, when he was subbed-off.

Now, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger says Diaby, who had just recovered from a previous ankle injury, could miss the coming week’s Euro 2012 qualifiers for France.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that “Diaby has a bad ankle and looks to be a doubt for the French national team.“Diaby has been capped 10 times by Les Bleus and represented the nation at this summer’s World Cup.
