The club announced that Diabaté will start a rehabilitation protocol for his right knee in Lyon, beginning this Wednesday. This setback also means that he will be unavailable for the upcoming friendly matches with Mali in May and the preparation for the CAN 2015 qualifiers scheduled for September.
Here’s a summarized overview of the situation:
- Injury Update: Cheikh Diabaté, who has been plagued with injuries throughout the season, will undergo rehabilitation for his right knee, starting in Lyon.
- Season Conclusion: With his knee injury, Diabaté will not be participating in Bordeaux’s final Ligue 1 match against Monaco.
- Impact on Mali: This injury will also impact the national team of Mali, as Diabaté will be unavailable for the upcoming friendly matches and the preparation for the CAN 2015 qualifiers.
In essence, Cheikh Diabaté’s season has come to an early end due to his knee injury, which will also sideline him for Mali’s upcoming matches and qualifiers. Bordeaux and Mali will certainly miss his goal-scoring prowess during his absence.
