ERIC DIER NEWS

Fit Saturday Dier (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Lens.

Impact Dier had fully trained ahead of Saturday's match, and that has helped him back into the team, with the defender earning a bench spot. He has started in all but one of his appearances this season up to this point and will look to return to that spot after testing his legs Saturday.

Available against Lens Dier (strain) is available for Saturday's clash against Lens, the club posted.

Impact Dier has trained fully with the squad in recent days, clearing his muscular injury and is now back available for the Diagonale to face Lens on Saturday. Dier had a decent role in the starting XI prior to his injury and should find a similar role under new coach Sebastien Pocognoli.

Could return Saturday Dier (strain) could return for Saturday's clash against Lens, coach Sebastien Pocognoli said in the press conference, according to Christopher Roux from Nice Matin.

Impact Dier has trained in full in recent days after recovering from a muscular injury and could be back available for Saturday's clash against Lens. The center-back will be assessed after the final training session to know if he can answer the call and be part of the squad. If deemed fit to play, Dier could return to a starting role since he is expected to hold the same role he had before the change of coaches.

Suffers muscular injury in training Dier suffered a muscular injury in training and could be sidelined for two to four weeks, according to Flavien Tresarrieu from L'Equipe.

Impact Dier could miss between two to four weeks of action after suffering a muscular injury in training this week. This is a big blow for Monaco since the center-back has been the most important and consistent player in the backline this campaign, and his absence will force a change in the starting XI. That said, it remains uncertain who will feature in defense, given that Monaco appointed Sebastien Pocognoli as their new coach only a few days ago. That said, Mohammed Salisu has shown a decent comeback in recent games and appears the most likely to benefit from Dier's absence.

Seing more playing time Dier has seen more playing time lately, starting four of the last six possible games and playing 90 minutes in each of those starts.

Impact Dier started the season as a bench option but has played more frequently as a starter lately due to Kim Min-Jae's Achilles injury and the trust coach Vincent Kompany has in his qualities. He recorded eight tackles, seven interceptions, and 23 clearances in his last five appearances across all competitions but helped his team secure only one clean sheet in that span. He should remain a starter in central defense until the South Korean returns from injury.
