Diaby’s injury-hit career has come to an end
“I am bringing an end to my professional career” Diaby said. “It is the right time.“For a number of years it has been difficult for me to return, with a lot of physical problems.“It is a difficult decision but I have thought a lot about my decision and I am at ease with it. After Marseille, I gave myself a year to come back but it was harder than I thought, and I have decided to stop.” Diaby, who was on Paris Saint-Germain’s books as a youngster, joined Arsenal from Auxerre in 2006 and spent almost a decade in north London, though injuries limited him to 16 league appearances in his last four seasons and also prematurely ended his comeback attempt with OM.He made a total 180 appearances for the Gunners, 40 of which came in 2009/10 – his best season playing under Arsene Wenger.He won 16 caps for his country, scoring once against Finland in 2012. A post on Les Bleus’ Twitter account, featuring a video of that goal, read: “We wish the first goalscorer of the (Didier) Deschamps era a lot of happiness and success in the new life that awaits him.”Diaby’s career ends with just one honour to his name, having won the Under-29 European Championship in 2005.
