Ahmadou Bamba Dieng
25-Year-Old
Lorient
Ligue 1
Ultimately makes squad list
Dieng (not injury related) ultimately makes the squad list for Friday's clash against Marseille.
ANALYSIS
Dieng was expected to remain out of the squad list for the time being as his lack of contribution and status at the club were a big question mark after the confirmation of coach Olivier Pantaloni in Wednesday's presser that the former Marseille striker wasn't in his plans. That said, due to many injuries in the frontline with the likes of Pablo Pagis (calf), Bandiougou Fadiga (ankle), and newcomer Trevan Sanusi who isn't yet fit to feature, Dieng was integrated in the squad list to face his former club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leeds won't chase him again
Leeds are not expected to make another move for Bamba Dieng, according to Express Online.
ANALYSIS
Leeds United are unlikely to revive their interest in the 22-year-old Senegal and Marseille striker, as they attempted to sign him on transfer deadline day but failed miserably. Leeds should remain active in the transfer market, though.
