Diarra out till December


I can see all the reasons for him going and understand them but still a little frustrated.

He hasn’t stepped foot on the pitch for us for ages now and he’s off to AFCON, hopefully he comes back fit and raring to go but any reoccurrence or new injury whilst he’s away and he isn’t helping himself with the club or fans

What?

He is one of Senegal’s best players and Senegal have a good chance of winning AFCON. He will obviously be desperate to play.

As a thought experiment imagine Harry Kane injured for Bayern Munich early season but just about recovered. England about to start Uefa finals - in which we are one of the favourites.

Bayern Munich though argue because he has been injured for so long he needs to turn out for them against Koln and Hamburg instead….

If Habib is fit enough to play he will be going to AFCON - hope he does well is the correct answer

I don’t think it was. Look at Wissa who is back fit before Dirara. I bet everyone thought adingra was 100% away as well.

Wissa said weeks ago that 'he owed the club' and was clearly told he wasn't going.

Surprising adingra didn't go i agree. But if diarra was even fit for any if the tournament they'd take him. He captained them less than a year ago

I think AFCON might be a good option for Diarra and the club. I know it might sound daft, but I think he is probably a few games away of returning to match fitness anyway, so why not go there get a few games in and return for the second half of the season and do the business for us.

sounds good, though you'd like to think they ease him in & he doesnt play every minute of every game. Do we get any compensation if he gets injured while he is out there & has another lay off? Are we still paying the wages of all the players we have going to AFCON or do we get anything back?

Where did I say I didn’t want him playing or that I don’t understand why he and Senegal will be desperate for him to go.

You can’t understand why a supporter of a club whose biggest ever signing hasn’t played a first team minute for months, not fully proven his fitness is now off to an international tournament is a little frustrated. I’m genuinely surprised at that

I know exactly why he wants to go and hope he does well but doesn’t change the bit of frustration I have about it

Shouldn’t be going, Wissa has also had a bad injury, is back playing games but not selected for Congo. Diarra has had a worse injury, is not even in first team training yet and he’s off to AFCON next week. It’s not right.

Wissa also went on strike to force his move to the Saudis, so that's the sort of character he is. Obviously Diarra has a bit more about him and is proud to represent his country no matter what the circumstances.

Yes you get compensation for a long lay off that happens on international duty

Yes AFCON are paying the wages for 24 players (iirc) and Senegal FA the other 4
 
Hopefully he gets game time and is fully up to speed for when he’s back. It would of took him 3/4 games to get back to full speed so it could work well he will come back fuly fit
