Senegal winger Krepin Diatta doubtful for Paris Saint Germain showdown

Senegal international Krepin Diatta is a major doubt for the upcoming Champions League clash between AS Monaco and Paris Saint Germain.

Diatta, who recently won the AFCON 2025 with the Lions of Teranga picked up a thigh injury in his outfit hard-fought victory over RC Lens, casting uncertainty over his availability for the crucial Champions League match.

The versatile Senegalese player was forced off following discomfort, with early assessments suggesting a short term spell on the sidelines.

His potential absence would be a significant setback for Monaco, given his versatility and work rate on the flank. Should he fail to recover in time, Brazilian defender Vanderson is expected to step in as a replacement, offering a more natural defensive option but slightly altering the team’s tactical balance.

With key fixtures on the horizon, Monaco’s medical team will be working around the clock to assess the extent of Diatta’s injury and determine whether either player can feature, as the principality club look to maintain momentum in a demanding stretch of the season.

The 26-year-old winger has made 18 appearances across competitions for AS Monaco this season, registering two assists in the process.
