Assane Diao suffers injury during Champions League match against Feyenoord

Assane Diao, the Senegalese forward for Como, suffered a muscular injury during a Champions League match against Feyenoord on October 14, 2026. Diao opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a solo effort, but was forced to leave the pitch in the 23rd minute after experiencing pain. He was replaced by Jesús Rodríguez.

While Como ultimately lost the match 3-2 in Rotterdam, the primary concern for the club is the severity of Diao's injury. Given his history of a serious biceps femoris injury last year that limited his appearances, there is significant apprehension regarding a potential long-term absence. The club is currently awaiting medical examinations to determine the exact nature of the injury and the expected recovery timeline.
