Moussa Diaby: between convalescence, negotiations and European ambitions
Recruited last summer by Al-Ittihad coming fromAston Villa against the tidy sum of 60 million euros, Moussa Diaby quickly stood out. With an impressive record of one goal and 10 assists in just 12 games, the 25-year-old has become an essential cog in the squad led by Laurent Blancplaying alongside stars like Karim Benzema.
However, a serious injury to his ankle ligaments forced him to take a forced eight-week rest, depriving him of at least seven important matches, including the shocks against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Nassr.
