Abou Diaby says he is looking to become a regular first team player at Arsenal by remaining injury-free.
The French midfielder made just five appearances last season for the Gunners first team but with the backing of manager Arsene Wenger, who spoke kindly of his pupil this week, is determined to force his way back into calculations in North London.
"That makes me feel confident - it is always nice to have the confidence of the manager," Diaby told a webchat with Chinese fans hosted by Arsenal.qq.com.
"I'm fit now, I have been training since the beginning of pre-season and also did a rehabilitation session during my holidays - so now I feel great.
"I know that when I am fit, I can be good on the pitch. My main target this season is to be fit and if I am then everything will be good for me."
