El Hadji Malick Diouf could make his return to the pitch before the end of this season. Initially, his fibula fracture raised fears of a prolonged absence, or even an early end to the season for the Senegalese player.

After just 17 minutes of play, the Senegalese defender had to leave the field. The initial diagnosis suggested a prolonged absence, jeopardizing the end of his season. However, recent news following additional medical examinations offers a glimmer of hope.
