Available again Dakonam is an option again for his club after serving a suspension.

Impact Dakonam was out for Sunday's match due to a one-match ban, but is now back in the fold, with the defender an option for play in future games. He is their lead center-back, so this is a major return, likely to start immediately. He has recorded one clean sheet in his nine appearances (nine starts) this campaign.

OCTOBER 19 • Associated Press

Sent off Monday Dakonam was sent off in Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Dakonam was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in the first half, meaning the defender will miss Sunday's trip to Athletic Club. It should be a one-game absence, however, meaning he'd be eligible to play Sevilla on Nov. 1. Abdelkadir Abqar will probably take his place in the lineup.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Commits penalty Dakonam registered two tackles (one won), two clearances and two interceptions in Monday's 1-0 defeat to Osasuna. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 45th minute.

Impact Dakonam fared well in the first half, but gave away a penalty just before half-time after a careless shirt pull on Ante Budimir and also picked up a yellow card for the offence. He has started all three games this campaign, but has already picked up two yellow cards.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Returns in friendly Dakonam played one half of Wednesday's 2-1 friendly win over Tenerife, confirming his discomfort was minor and he is fit to play.

Impact Dakonam had gone down with muscular discomfort and asked to be substituted in an earlier preseason friendly against Reading, so his return to action for a half of play is an encouraging sign that the issue was minor. He recently signed a one year contract extension and holds the record for most appearances in Getafe history with 326, and his gradual reintegration positions him to be ready as the club prepares for a European campaign this season.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Removed with muscular discomfort Dakonam (undisclosed) could not continue past the 63rd minute of Friday's 1-0 preseason win over Reading, going down with muscular discomfort before asking to be substituted immedi...

Impact Dakonam recently signed a one year contract extension with the club and holds the record for most appearances in Getafe history with 326, cementing his status as a franchise legend. His withdrawal in the preseason opener is a minor concern to track, though the club will likely take a cautious approach given his importance to the squad as Getafe prepares for a European campaign this season.

JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Signs contract extension Dakonam has signed a one-year contract extension with Getafe, the club announced.

Impact Dakonam joined the club in July 2017 and has made 326 appearances, the most in club history, cementing his status as a legendary figure at Getafe. Djene was also a key player during the club's previous European campaign in 2019/2020 and will now look to build on his legacy as Getafe prepare for an exciting continental challenge in the upcoming season.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off Sunday Djene was shown a red card in the first half of Sunday's clash with Elche.

Impact Djene was shown a red card in the 39th minute after a late and reckless challenge, and will now miss the season finale against Osasuna through suspension. Abdelkabir Abqar is the likely candidate to step in at center back in his absence. The defender had been one of the most consistent starters in the side this season with 32 starts, and he will end the campaign without a goal contribution but with an impressive defensive record of 35 tackles, 35 interceptions, 145 clearances, 10 blocks and nine clean sheets.

MAY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Clears suspension Dakonam has cleared his suspension and is an option moving forward.

Impact Dakonam is returning to play after a match out, serving a suspension due to yellow card accumulation. Unless he earns another red card, he should remain an option the rest of the season, starting in 29 of his 31 appearances thus far.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Set for suspension Dakonam will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of 10 yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Dakonam picked up his 10th yellow card in La Liga play and will serve a one-match suspension for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano. The versatile defender has been an undisputed starter in defense for Getafe this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Sebastian Boselli likely getting a larger role at the back during his absence.

APRIL 27 • ROTOWIRE

Helps Getafe to clean sheet Dakonam made two interceptions, two tackles (winning both) and five clearances during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Dakonam was a part of the Getafe back line that kept a clean sheet Wednesday, ending with the second most interceptions and clearances on the team. The defender has combined for three tackles, six interceptions and 18 clearances over his last three appearances.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension served Dakonam is available going forward after missing Monday's win over Real Madrid through suspension.

Impact Dakonam has been a regular starter in either central midfield or defense throughout the campaign, so he should bounce back to activity now that he's eligible. In that case, his upside will come mostly from defensive stats as he rarely gets involved in attack. With the veteran back in the lineup, Sebastian Boselli could lose his starting spot for upcoming games.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off early against Sevilla Dakonam received a straight red card in the 26th minute of Sunday's clash versus Sevilla.

Impact Dakonam was expelled in the first half for a rough tackle on Gabriel Suazo and will miss at least next Monday's away game versus Real Madrid. He started in the midfield in the last two tilts, and Mario Martin returned from injury in this one.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Back from suspension Dakonam is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Dakonam has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in La Liga and is set to return in the next contest. The center-back has been an undisputed starter for Getafe this season and will claim back his role against Valencia next Sunday.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss one game Dakonam will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Dakonam accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Real Sociedad on Friday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been a regular starter in the backline of Getafe, with Yvan Neyou Noupa as a possible option to replace him in the back-three.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Eight clearances in clean-sheet win Dakonam recorded one tackle (one won) and eight clearances in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Athletic.

Impact Dakonam's eight clearances mark his season high, which also helped Getafe's team log its third clean sheet of the season. Defensively, the center-back has logged 50 clearances to go with 11 tackles (seven won), five interceptions and four blocks in 10 appearances.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Sunday Dakonam (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Dakonam was expected to be available Sunday and is, with the defender not only fit but also earning a spot in the starting XI immediately. He has only missed one start in nine appearances this season, likely to remain a starter moving forward.

OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available Sunday Dakonam (undisclosed) should be available for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid as he wasn't mentioned in the injury report during the presser.

Impact Dakonam has resumed team training after returning from international duty with Togo and is expected to be available for Sunday's derby against Real Madrid. The injury he suffered during the break seems to be only minor and the versatile defender is expected to return directly to the starting squad against the Merengues.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with injury Dakonam (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury in the game against RD Congo while on international duty and is already back in Madrid to undergo examinations, according to Jacqu...

Impact Dakonam is already back in Madrid from international duty after suffering an injury late in the game against RD Congo. The Togo captain will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he can be available for the derby against Real Madrid on Sunday. Dakonam has been an undisputed starter in the backline under coach Jose Bordalas, therefore if he has to miss the game, Juan Iglesias could be a potential option to replace him in the back five.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Decent starter again Dakonam started seven of his eight appearances this season in La Liga, remaining an important figure in the backline for Getafe.

Impact Dakonam started his ninth season with Getafe this campaign and remains an important starter in the backline under coach Jose Bordalas, contributing seven tackles and 35 clearances in eight appearances. Dakonam is on pace to reach his record totals of clearances from 2017 and 2018 if he keeps going at the same rate this season. However, it looks like the Togolese has been struggling with his fitness since he has been replaced three times before the break so far this season and played only the second half in Friday's 2-1 loss to Osasuna.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension cleared Dakonam is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Dakonam has served his suspensions for yellow card accumulation and the red card he received against Rayo Vallecano and is now available for the next contest. The Togolese has been a regular starter for Getafe and is expected to return directly to the starting squad for the final game of the season against Celta Vigo on Saturday.

MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off Friday Dakonam was shown a straight red card and sent off during Friday's clash with Rayo.

Impact Dakonam will miss at least one match with the ban, ruling him out for a May 10 trip to Valencia. The defender could be sidelined longer than that as well. Dakonam's next chance to play is a May 15 clash with Athletic Club.

MAY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Eight clearances in loss Dakonam crossed twice inaccurately, made an interception, two tackles (winning one) and eight clearances during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Leganes.

Impact Dakonam looked set to keep a clean sheet before his side allowed the game winning goal in the 92nd minute. The defender led Getafe with eight clearances and has combined for 13 clearances over his last three starts.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return after suspension Dakonam completed his one-game suspension and will be available for the game against Espanyol on Monday, Dec. 9.

Impact Dakonam has been one of the most consistent players for Getafe this season, and he should return to his regular role on the defensive line. His versatility allows him to play multiple positions, and he could be slotted at center-back following the arrival of Allan Nyom, who's expected to remain as the starter at right-back.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended to face Real Madrid Dakonam received his fifth yellow card of the season in the 2-0 win over Valladolid on Friday, meaning he'll be suspended to face Real Madrid this Sunday.

Impact Dakonam has been one of the most steady, consistent players for Getafe this season, so his absence will undoubtedly hurt against one of the best teams in LaLiga. Domingos Duarte is expected to start at center-back alongside Omar Alderete for this match, and Dakonam will be eligible to return for the match against Espanyol on Dec. 9.
