Abou Diaby is close to making his competitive debut for Marseille after a series of injury woes.

Hundred. And. Six. To put that into context, here are some things that have happened since the French international last took to the field, in Arsenal's 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat at home to Southampton in September 2014.
