The Russian side unilaterally terminated Diarra’s contract in the summer of 2014, leading to an ongoing conflict between player and club.
According to Russian news agency ITAR TASS, the case will be reviewed on appeal by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on January 18 and 19. The hearing aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the termination of Diarra’s contract.
