Sidelined for multiple games
Diao is nursing a small flexor strain in his left thigh and will try to return against Inter on November 8, Sky Italy reported
Analysis: Diao got hurt while scoring midweek and will need about three weeks to recuperate. He might be held out until the next break. Jesus Rodriguez, Mattia Liberali and Maxence Caqueret are set to enjoy an uptick in minutes on the flank.
Comes off the bench versus Udinese
Diao had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in 45 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Udinese.
Analysis: Diao didn't get the start, as the coach picked Martin Baturina and Jesus Rodriguez over him, but he was the first attacker off the bench, looked bouncy and was instrumental in the equalizer, as he forced Maduka Okoye into a difficult save with a thumping header, leading to Tasos Douvikas' tap-in. He'll have to split duties with a couple of players, but he'll be a considerable factor if he stays healthy, which he struggled to do last season.
