Est. Return 9/21/2025
Training, hopeful for return
Diakite (undisclosed) is continuing to work on his fitness and is hoping to return against Newcastle on Sunday, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Alexander Smith of the Daily Echo. "I think he finished with some soreness against Spurs. Has been training, not training, resting a little bit, dealing with the situation in the international break. But he was still not feeling fully confident. And I hope he can be available also next week. With Bafo we have to see how the week goes."
ANALYSIS
Diakite was out Saturday after he was dealing with some drawbacks of an injury he had sustained before the break, training this week, but not fit enough to play. He will now continue to work on his fitness throughout the week, with the club to make a late decision on whether he will be included. He did start in their first three games of the season, so he will hope this week is enough to get back to full fitness and on the field.
