Bench option
Diao (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Inter Milan.
ANALYSIS
Diao is an option as expected Saturday, with the attacker an option from the bench after his thigh injury. He has started in three of his five appearances on the team sheet this season and will likely push for a starting role after testing his legs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to England
Newcastle are analyzing the possibility of signing Diao, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Diao came through the Real Betis ranks but has looked impressive at Como, and it wouldn't be shocking if he joins a bigger club in the summer. He nearly completed a move to Brentford before joining Como, and now he might end up in the Premier League anyway.
