The French midfielder has not played a league game all season for Arsenal, in fact his last Premier League appearance came against Norwich City on the last day of the 2013-2014 campaign.
Diaby made his one and only start for the Gunners this season in the Capital One cup third round against Southampton at the Emirates back in September and he lasted just over an hour and hasn’t been involved with the first team squad since.
His career in North London has been blighted by injuries since joining from French outfit Auxerre almost a decade ago and it was reported in the Daily Mail in March that he would be released from his contract when it expires in the summer.
But with news of his return to training, Arsenal fans have reacted on Twitter:
