Senegal goalkeeper Seny Dieng facing uncertain future at Middlesbrough ahead of winter window

Senegal international Seny Dieng is facing an uncertain future at English Championship outfit Middlesbrough ahead if the January transfer window.

The 30-year-old, who has been sidelined for over ten month due Achilles tendon injury could end his spell with Middlesbrough as the winter window approaches.

His future at the Championship outfit is increasingly uncertain, with reports suggesting a possible departure as early as January.

Having undergone surgery in January 2025, the former Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper is experiencing one of the most difficult periods of his career.

While initial diagnoses suggested a return before the end of last season, his recovery has ultimately been much longer than expected.

Despite a recent appearance in a friendly match with the club’s U21 team, the Lions’ goalkeeper has not rejoined the first team squad and has not appeared in any official matchday squad for several weeks.

Meanwhile, the club has yet to provide an update regarding the return of the Senegaln international to action.

According to reports in the UK, this prolonged absence has disrupted the goalkeeping hierarchy at Middlesbrough. Second in the Championship and in the promotion race, the club has had to adapt without its first-choice goalkeeper and may now consider other options for the second half of the season.

Under contract with the club until June 2027, his extended unavailability and the need for immediate guarantees could lead the management to reconsider their plans.
