Zakaria Diallo Nears Return from Injury at Dijon
By [Reporter Name], BBC Sport France
Dijon FCO have received a welcome boost as central defender Zakaria Diallo edges closer to a return from injury. The 28-year-old, who was a key figure in the squad last season, has successfully completed his rehabilitation following a long spell on the sidelines due to a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained in May.
Diallo, who has been out of competitive action for several months, recently rejoined the team environment and is expected to resume ball training in the coming days. According to club sources, his recovery is progressing well, and a return to full training is imminent.
This news will be met with relief by Dijon’s coaching staff and supporters, who have felt the absence of the experienced centre-back. Diallo’s solid performances last season were instrumental in stabilising the defence, and his leadership at the back has been notably missed during his recovery period.
While a specific return date has not yet been confirmed, optimism is growing within the club that Diallo could be available for selection by mid-to-late November, provided his final phase of training goes smoothly.
Dijon are hoping his comeback will further strengthen the squad as they look to climb the Ligue 2 table and push for promotion. Diallo’s return could not come at a better time as the team prepares for a crucial run of fixtures leading into the winter break.
