Constantly plagued by injuries, Abou Diaby has returned to training with "Marseille" once again. The 30-year-old former London "Arsenal" player has not played since the match against "Guingamp" in August, which his team lost. This season, he has only spent a total of 130 minutes on the field, but he is eager to start playing again. The club's statement, however, mentions that he will need more time to be strong enough for matches. Diaby's injuries should not be news to anyone. He joined "Marseille" back in the summer of 2015, but only made his debut for the team in March of the following year. In his first season, he played for 135 minutes. Before that, during nine years with the Gunners, the Frenchman only appeared on the field 200 times, including just a few in the last four years. From March 2013 to May 2015, Diaby played only one match in the Premier League.
