"When I had been working on my recovery for five or six months the team was experiencing difficulties and I was powerless," Diarra, 28, told the club's website ahead of Saturday's start to the season.

"But I was patient and I saw after seven months that my efforts were bearing fruit and that I was able to run with more intensity and do ball work," he added.

"So I realised that I had to pick myself up and stick with it to the end."
