The Frenchman has shown plenty of promise whenever fit, but unfortunately for him those occasions have been few and far between.
Arsene Wenger has stuck by his man despite his injury woes however, and the midfielder will be looking to pay him back if possible.
Ben Dinnery, an injury data specialist for ESPN and other publications, broke the news on Twitter, announcing that Diaby had joined Mathieu Debuchy, Mikel Arteta, and Jack Wilshere in full training.

Heading into the final few games of the season, it is vital that we have as many bodies fit and firing. We have a number of huge games coming up, and squad depth could prove vital to any success we might have.
Diaby could be on his way out of the club this summer, with his contract yet to be renewed. If he can get a run of games together towards the tail end of the season then this may change, but as far as many Arsenal fans are concerned it is time to say goodbye to the injury prone box-to-box star.
