Senegal Confirm Alassane Diaw Out of AFCON 2025 Due to Injury
The Senegalese Football Federation has announced that young forward Alassane Diaw, 20, will be unavailable for the Africa Cup of Nations "Morocco 2025" due to injury.
The Federation confirmed that Diaw is suffering from a right hamstring injury, which will prevent him from participating in what would have been his maiden AFCON appearance.
Diaw sustained the injury last Monday during his club Como's match against Roma, played as part of Matchday 15 of the Italian league.
Como coach Cesc Fàbregas had previously expressed reservations about Diaw's call-up to the Senegal national team, citing concerns about his physical readiness for the tournament. Following the injury against Roma, Fàbregas also admitted that he should not have started the player.
