Not much action during this transfer window is a worry for some Arsenal fans. However the return of Abou Diaby acts as a transfer in itself.

The 26 year old Frenchman has been out for the majority of this season due to injury but looks set to make a comeback against Manchester City this weekend.

Spending most of his career in the hospital bed has made Arsenal fans think about the importance of his role in the team but his return could be a large boost for the team who have been playing nervous football as of late.

His return saw him take part in an Under-21 match against West Brom today. Despite his long absence, he still has the quality Wenger sees in him by setting up fellow injury victim Andre Santos to score and equalise for Arsenal making it 1-1.

As well, the promising young Ghanaian in Emmanuel Frimpong has also made his comeback after having spent the last few weeks on-loan at Charlton. Frimpong had recovered from a cruciate ligament injury during his spell at the Charlton an looks to return to the North London side.

Moving forward, Vito Mannone has discarded a small knock and looks set to impress in training ahead of the weekend’s clash with Champions of England - City.

A full strength squad is getting closer and without a movement in the transfer window so far, every little helps. The return of these injuries will bolster both confidence and strength in line up in our bid to creep higher up the table.
