After spending more than a year on the sidelines, Arsenal star Abou Diaby finally returned to full match fitness and may feature in the main squad before the season ends. We posted the snap below yesterday before Diaby’s involvement with Arsenal U’ 21s against Chelsea U21s.
Here are some more pictures of Diaby playing and some Tweets from Arsenal fans who were vocal about seeing the long forgotten man back playing football.

This is what happens to Diabys leg when he's been injured as much as he has. Look at that left knee! #AFC #Diaby pic.twitter.com/CTC0sUssi6

That scar on Diaby’s knee is frightening, dread to think what he’s been through, poor guy. Could’ve been one of the best, but he’s only 27.

Diaby has had so many body parts replaced, he's now eligible for the U-21s!!!

HT. Arsenal 1 Chelsea 0. Arsenal lead through Bellerin's goal. Diaby composed. Ajayi and Hayden also impressive.

Appreciation tweet for #Diaby. One of the most underrated players. Can be an absolute beast on his day. Hope he does well without injuries
