London's "Arsenal" club defender Abou Diaby continues to be haunted by injuries.

The 26-year-old Frenchman ruptured the cruciate ligaments of his left knee during Wednesday's "gunners" training session and will be out of action for 8-9 months, as reported by the official club website.

At the start of the season, the footballer demonstrated excellent form, but at the end of September, he injured a thigh muscle and spent three months in the team's infirmary.

Since 2008, a total of 15 injuries have been recorded for this footballer, and the defender often watches the team's games from the stands rather than wearing the "gunners" jersey himself.
