Senegalese football prodigy Amara Diouf has returned to his home country following an extended rehabilitation period in France. The young international, who had been recovering at FC Metz’s training facility in Marly, is now nearing full fitness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Recovery Nears Completion
Diouf, who suffered a knee injury in July 2024, has spent several months undergoing rehabilitation in France after undergoing surgery.
His time at FC Metz’s training center has been instrumental in his recovery, and reports indicate that he is now in the final stages of regaining match fitness.
There is growing speculation that the talented winger could feature in Senegal’s squad for the upcoming U20 Africa Cup of Nations, which is set to take place in Ivory Coast from April 26 to May 25, 2025.
While an official decision on his participation has not been made, his return to Senegal suggests he may soon be ready to resume competitive action.
Contract Dispute and Future Uncertainty
Diouf’s future has been the subject of debate in recent months, particularly regarding his contractual status with Senegalese club Génération Foot.
While initial reports suggested that he was tied to the club until 2028, his representatives have since clarified that his contract is set to expire in 2025.
This means the highly-rated youngster will be free to join a new club at the end of the current season, fueling speculation over his next move.
Given his potential and impressive performances before his injury, several European clubs are likely to monitor his situation closely.
As Diouf nears his full recovery, attention will now turn to whether he can make a swift return to competitive football and potentially play a key role for Senegal at the U20 AFCON.
