Just five days before Hervé Renard announces his next squad, Amad Diallo is facing another physical issue. The Ivorian winger from Manchester United left the pitch due to an injury during the match against Chelsea, which took place on Saturday, October 31, in the Premier League. This is another setback for the Ivorian international, whose health will be closely monitored as the next gathering of the Elephants approaches.
Starting at Stamford Bridge, Amad Diallo was substituted around the 76th minute after feeling a muscle pain. Nevertheless, the winger had been one of Manchester United's most active players in the first half, creating several chances. According to initial reports following the match, it appears to be a muscle issue, but no precise medical diagnosis has been established yet. Therefore, it is premature to discuss the duration of his unavailability or to confirm a strain.
Hervé Renard is set to unveil his list on Thursday, November 5, in preparation for the two matches against Gambia on November 12 and 17, as part of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. After missing the last gathering due to injury, Amad Diallo hoped to rejoin the Elephants. However, this latest physical alert could jeopardize his chances of participating in these two matches.
