Deferred return for Pape Cheikh Diop. The Senegalese midfielder from Dijon is yet to recover from his ankle injury. He will therefore miss the reception of the Stade de Reims on Sunday.

He seemed on his way home, but Pape Cheikh Diop will still have to wait. The Senegalese international from Dijon has not yet fully recovered from his ankle injury. The midfielder on loan from Olympique Lyonnais is still out for the reception of the Stade de Reims on Sunday (19th day of Ligue 1).

A very unfortunate news for the DFCO coach. It is all the more so as David Linarès is still in the dark concerning the state of health of the Lion of Teranga. ”  He must still undergo additional examinations to know the severity” , explains the French technician this Friday at a press conference .

Pape Cheikh Diop was injured on February 27 during the defeat (0-4) against PSG. His absence complicates the situation of Dijon almost condemned to relegation. The DFCO occupies the last place of the French Ligue 1 championship. The Reds are 13 points behind the first non-relegation, Lorient. And 17 on the barrage, Nantes.
