The French midfielder Diaby has had an unfortunate time since joining Marseille and has been on the sidelines injured for the past 18-months.
But, it looks like Diaby's injury nightmare is coming to an end after he made an official statement on the club's website revealing that he has "never been so close" to the first-team return.
Diaby's last competetive fixture with the club was in September 2014 in the 2-1 League Cup defeat for Arsenal against Southampton.
