Diaby's story has been one of injury, return, repeat - trumping each ailment with the next in hopes of regaining the form he exhibited at Arsenal.
Friday was Diaby's first spell in a senior match since making one substitute appearance for the Gunners during the 2013-14 campaign.
Despite the good news surrounding Diaby's health, the 5-2 defeat is the latest disappointment in a dismal season for Marseille, who hasn't won a match at the Stade Velodrome in six months.
