Delivers one assist off bench Dia assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Bologna.

Impact Dia came off the bench in the 62nd minute of Sunday's 2-0 win over Bologna, playing a key role in the attacking build up and providing an assist for Kenneth Taylor with a well timed pass in transition late in the match. The forward was heavily involved after coming on, linking up effectively with his teammates while recording two key passes and one shot. The Senegalese is enduring a difficult season, having started the campaign as a regular but now seeing more minutes off the bench in 2026, with one goal and one assist in 19 appearances this season.

Engulfed by Lecce defenders Dia (AFCON) drew one foul and had one shot (one on goal) and two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Dia got the nod after international duty, as he looked good enough in training, per the coach, but he didn't get much going in a tightly contested game. He'll have to produce to stay ahead of Tijjani Noslin and Petar Ratkov. He has scored just once so far and has logged four shots (two on target), three chances created and three tackles (two won) in his last five showings.

Starting Saturday Dia (international duty) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Lecce.

Available versus Lecce Dia (AFCON) will be an option against Lecce, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Dia will likely begin on the bench after winning the tournament and spending a month and a half away from the team. He'll compete with Petar Ratkov and Tijjani Noslin following the departure of Taty Castellanos. Dia has tallied three shots (one on target), four chances created and one tackle (one won) in his last five displays.

Selected by Senegal Dia has been named in Senegal's squad for AFCON 2025.

Impact Dia will be absent for the next few Serie A matches. He had a large role while Taty Castellanos was missing in the last couple of months, without seizing his opportunities, and didn't get minutes in the last two matches after the starter returned from injury. Tijjani Noslin will serve as the deputy.

Contained by Atalanta Dia (ankle) won two of three tackles and had one interception and one clearance in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Dia led the attack but was unable to get anything going, like most of the Lazio attackers in the stalemate. He'll be the top choice to replace Taty Castellanos (thigh) in the next few matches. He has notched two shots (one on target), one key pass and eight tackles (four won) in his last four starts.

Starting to face Atalanta Dia (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Dia is back with the squad as expected, heading into Sunday's match, with the attacker not only fit but also earning a starting role immediately. He has now started in four straight games, a role he seems keen on keeping.

Re-joins his teammates in training Dia (ankle) was able to practice with no limitations Thursday, Lazio announced.

Nursing ankle injury Dia is rehabbing due to a right ankle sprain, Lazio announced.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss international duties Dia won't play with Senegal during the break due to a minor physical problem, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Dia picked up an undisclosed injury during the last game versus Torino, but he's likely to recover in time for the match versus Atalanta on October 19. It remains to be seen whether he'll continue starting following the return of Matteo Guendouzi, as the coach could resume using a formation that features fewer attackers.

OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts again Dia recorded one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 3-0 victory versus Genoa.

Impact Dia recorded his second straight start Monday after three appearances from the bench to begin the season, earning the full 90 of play for the first time this campaign.

Rounds out the score against Verona Dia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) in 12 minutes in Sunday's 4-0 win over Verona.

Impact Dia made the most of his limited playing time, nudging home from close range a low-driven cross by Reda Belahyane for the final goal of the game. He has played very little so far, as the coach is riding Taty Castellanos, who had a superb showing in this one.

More opportunities and improvement Dia generated two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Before transferring teams to Lazio, Salernitana limited Dia because of injuries and a player freeze-out. Thus, his 2024-25 season was easily an improvement. During then, Dia logged nine goals and three assists, making him one of fewer than five Lazio players to finish with a double-digit G/A. Considering he recorded 22 in the category in his 2022-23 season, expectations are higher for him. It is also worth noting that Lazio's team remains much more talented, meaning it will not depend on him as much to step up.

He has taken at least a shot in five straight appearances, totaling eight (six on target) and adding two chances created, one tackle and two interceptions.

Scores against Napoli Dia (ankle) scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and four passes in 16 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Dia was hobbling at times, but the injury didn't stop him from contributing and finding the target with a lefty daisy-cutter in the final minutes. He hadn't found the target in five matches. He has posted six shots (three on target), six key passes and one cross (one accurate) in his last five appearances. He could play as a no.9 if Taty Castellanos (thigh) is forced to miss time.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Napoli tilt Dia (ankle) was able to train fully Friday and will be an option Saturday, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Dia avoided long-term problems after tweaking his ankle last week but might cede the starting job to either Pedro or Fisayo Dele-Bashiru since he didn't practice much throughout the week. He has notched five shots (two on target), six chances created and one cross (one accurate) in his last five showings, with no goal contributions.

FEBRUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing ankle injury Dia "was subbed out as a precaution, and his ankle didn't swell up. It doesn't look super important. We hope to have him back in a matter of days," coach Marco Baroni stated.

Impact Dia limped off in the first half, but the early indications are encouraging. He'll be assessed also with some exams. Lazio will be back on the pitch Saturday against Napoli.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves Monza match early Dia had one shot (zero on target) and one key pass in 35 minutes before exiting Sunday's game versus Monza due to a lower leg injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Dia got off to a decent start but couldn't continue after getting roughed up in a tackle. He previously missed a few weeks due to an ankle injury. He'll be examined before Saturday's home game versus Napoli. Pedro replaced him in this one, but Tijjani Noslin and Fisayo Dele-Bashire can also handle the role.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in late versus Braga Dia (undisclosed) had one off-target one, one key pass, one cross (one accurate) and two tackles (one won) in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Braga.

Impact Dia saw some minutes off the bench despite dealing with lingering fatigue and is a safe bet to return to the XI versus Cagliari on Monday. He has registered two goals, one assist, six shots (four on target) and seven chances created in the last five matches.
