Assane Diao Already Set to Miss Out for National Coach Patrick Vieira

Assane Diao was injured in Como’s Champions League match against Feyenoord, scoring before leaving the pitch in the 23rd minute. A medical assessment on October 17 diagnosed a hamstring muscle injury, with his club estimating he will be out for three weeks. His availability for Senegal’s matches against Sudan on November 11 and 15 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers remains uncertain. Patrick Vieira may have to do without the winger during the next international window.
