Wenger on M’Vila possibility and Diaby’s return.

Arsene Wenger was asked about the possibility of adding Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila to his squad this summer, to which he said the following:

"“No [I am not interested]. We wait on Diaby and Wilshere,” Wenger told the club’s official website. “When you look we have Song, Ramsey, Coquelin, Wilshere, Arteta and Diaby.“In defensive midfielders and box-to-box players we are not short if they are all coming back. If we have setbacks in pre-season it could be different.”"

He then went on to discuss the return of Abou Diaby, who is back from a long-term injury. The Frenchman has suffered with persistent injuries since joining the club in January 2006 from Auxerre. Wenger said:

"“You can’t imagine how happy I am firstly to have him in the squad, because he is an exceptional player,”“I am cautious but confident because he had two hard weeks and came through it well.“This tour is another decider for him. He will play on Tuesday night and now it is down to uncontrolled movement in games: how does your body react to that? I am confident with what I have seen in training that he will do it.“He is the first player who would be on the France team-sheet in midfield when he is fit. Laurent Blanc said that before the European Championship and he waited a very long time to know if he could play or not. But he couldn’t.”"
