Bakaye Dibassy - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Taken off injury report Dibassy (quadriceps) is no longer listed in Minnesota's availability report for Saturday's clash against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Minnesota manager Adrian Heath told reporters a few weeks ago that Dibassy would be targeting a squad appearance in this RSL game, and he seems to be on track as he's not carrying an injury designation into the match.

Targeting RSL return Dibassy (quadriceps) is aiming to be available for selection in the June 24 clash against Real Salt Lake, Minnesota manager Adrian Heath told reporters on Friday.

Impact Dibassy has been out for almost 10 months since tearing a tendon in his quad last August, but he's hoping to be able to make his season debut against Salt Lake in a few weeks.

Still a few weeks from return Dibassy (quadriceps) remains "a few weeks" away from being able to play for Minnesota United, according to team reporter Jacob Schneider on Tuesday.

Impact Minnesota manager Adrian Heath told Schneider that at one point, the club was unsure whether Dibassy would be able to feature at all this season after tearing a tendon in his thigh last August, so they are very pleased with the way his recovery has progressed thus far.

Steps up training Dibassy (quadriceps) returned to team training with Minnesota United on Tuesday, according to club reporter Jeremy Rushing.

Impact Dibassy took another step forward this week in his rehabilitation from torn quad tendon that required surgery last August. He won't be available to Saturday's clash against the Whitecaps, but he can aim to return to the squad at some point this month.

Working with ball in training Dibassy (quadriceps) was doing individual work with a ball during Minnesota United's training on Tuesday, Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Dibassy has been out since last August with a torn quad muscle that required surgery, but he's making progress with his recovery and has begun working with a ball in training. Miguel Tapias and Michael Boxall have taken over as the preferred center-back pairing this season, but Dibassy will want to re-enter the conversation once he's back up to full fitness.

Still working on rehabilitation Dibassy (quadriceps) still has a "ways to go" in his recovery from surgery, Minnesota manager Adrian Heath told reporter Jacob Schneider a few weeks ago.

Impact Dibassy has been out since tearing a tendon in his quad that required surgery in late August, and he's likely to remain out for at least the first few games of the 2023 campaign. Two of Brent Kallman, Miguel Tapias and Michael Boxall should remain the starting center-backs until he returns.

Progressing in recovery Dibassy (quadriceps) posted a video of him working on his fitness on Wednesday.

Impact Dibassy suffered a season-ending tendon tear back in August of 2022 and appears to be in good shape to return by March of 2023. He's started in 54 matches over the last two seasons and should continue to be a key piece of the Loons back line whenever he's fit.

Extends contract with Minnesota Dibassy has signed a one-year contract extension with Minnesota United, the club announced Monday.

Impact Dibassy has been a nailed-on starter in central defense since joining Minnesota in the summer of 2020, and the 32-year-old has now signed on with the club through the 2023 campaign. He has kept three clean sheets in 21 MLS games so far this season.

JULY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet in win Dibassy kept a clean sheet with two tackles won during Saturday's 2-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Dibassy has played in all but one of his team's games this season but this was his first clean sheet in 13 matches. He'll next face Houston, which are tied for the fifth-fewest goals scored in the league.

Minnesota United close to inking new deals with Robin Lod, Bakaye Dibassy Robin Lod has scored 22 goals in three-plus MLS seasons, and Bakaye Dibassy has started 53 games for the Loons over the past three seasons.

Busy defensively in loss Dibassy won one tackle and made five clearances during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Inter Miami.

Impact Dibassy had a very solid performance against Miami's offense, keeping them scoreless for 87 minutes, but then saw substitute Indiana Vassilev scoring two late goals to give the opposition a come-from-behind win. Despite his side's poor campaign, the center-back is having nice individual outputs this season, being among MLS' top-20 players in both clearances and blocked shots.

JUNE 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in win Dibassy created one chance and made one tackle, five clearances and two interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 win over Houston.

Impact Dibassy made a great partnership with Michael Boxall at the heart of the defense, racking up a decent stat line while not letting opposing forwards operate comfortably in the final third. With Boxall suspended for Saturday's home clash against New York City FC, Dibassy could very well have an expanded role and a good opportunity to put up great fantasy numbers.

MAY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win Dibassy scored one goal from one shot and made three interceptions during Saturday's 3-1 win over Colorado.

Impact Dibassy tends not to offer much in the attack but he's taken at least one shot in the last three games and was able to open the scoring Saturday. As a result, it may not be wise to rely too much on him without more clean sheets or at least consistent defensive production, which he's been able to manage so far. Up next is a visit from Chicago, which have scored the fewest goals in the league.
