GAME LOG

Handed cup start Diop got the start and played 90 minutes during Wednesday's Carabao Cup win over Bristol City.
Impact Diop has gone unused in the first two Premier League matches but was handed the cup start Wednesday. It seems he's fallen way down the pecking order, as he wasn't used in the opener, with Jorge Cuenca coming into the starting XI instead. Diop is going to remain a rotational option with most of his minutes coming in the cups, barring injuries elsewhere.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't play in final two months Diop started in 16 of his 23 appearances, tallying seven shots (three on goal), 73 clearances, 28 tackles and nine interceptions over the past season.
Impact Diop went from being the natural replacement when Joachim Andersen was unavailable to being completely excluded even from the substitutes at the end of the campaign. The defender has been reliable for clearances when in the starting lineup, but overall he's fallen far short of the impact he once had with West Ham.

Leads defensive effort Diop recorded four tackles (three won) and five clearances in Friday's 1-0 loss to Manchester United.
Impact Diop led the Fulham backline to the precipice of an opening-weekend clean sheet before a late Manchester United goal downed the Cottagers 1 - 0. Diop was central to the Fulham defensive effort during Friday's match, leading his team with five clearances and chipping in four tackles (three won). Diop's availability will dictate his ability to impact Fulham's campaign. The central defender has not made more than 25 Premier League appearances since he started in 31 of 32 appearances during the 2019 - 2020 campaign with West Ham United.
AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sent off late Diop was sent off in the second half of Saturday's match against Manchester City.
Impact Diop was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time following a foul which led to a penalty. The sending off means that Diop's season is over as he'll be suspended for next week's finale against Luton Town.
MAY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Bournemouth Diop (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bournemouth.
Impact Diop missed last week's match against Brentford with the injury after starting back-to-back fixtures. Diop will partner Tim Ream in the center of Fulham's back four Saturday.
FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not an option Saturday Diop (hamstring) will not be available against Burnley on Saturday, according to manager Marco Silva, per Peter Rutzler of The Athletic Football. "On Saturday we will be without Is...
Impact Diop will not be returning just a couple of days after going down in the club's match against Everton due to a hamstring injury, having been announced as out by manager Marco Silva. The defender will not turn to his recovery program and hopes to be ready for next Saturday's contest against Bournemouth. He has been a regular starter when available this season, so expect Tosin Adarabioyo to get the start in his place against Burnley.
FEBRUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Off holding leg Diop came off in the second half of Tuesday's clash with Everton, due to an apparent injury.
Impact Diop made it 75 minutes before Tim Ream was summoned to replace him on the pitch. The defender has started two matches in a row when fit, but Ream is a more than competent replacement if this injury proves to be serious. With a suspected muscular issue it's unlikely Diop is back for a Saturday trip to Burnley.
JANUARY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to start Diop (foot) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Newcastle.
Impact Diop returns from a foot injury which has kept him out of eight straight matches. The defender was a locked in starter prior to the injury and returns to his spot in the center of Fulham's back four on Saturday.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Slowly working back Diop (foot) has trained for two weeks and is slowly recovering from a foot injury, according to manager Marco Silva."[Issa Diop's recovery] It's a process. He's been training for t...
Impact Diop isn't likely to be ready for Saturday's trip to Newcastle but he is slowly working on recovering his fitness. It's a good sign that he should be back sooner rather than later after more than a month on the sideline with the foot problem. Diop's next chance to return after Saturday's clash is a Dec. 23 match against Burnley.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Spotted in training Diop was spotted in training during Saturday's session.
Impact Manager Marco Silva recently said that "another player that is going to need more time is Issa Diop," so he has no exact timeline for his return. Even though seeing him training on grass is a positive sign, given the updates from Silva have been less than insightful and the fact that there's no timetable for his return, it's unclear what will happen with the defender, and it wouldn't be shocking if he still needs a few more weeks to get into game shape.
NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still needs time Diop (foot) missed Sunday's 3-1 loss to Aston Villa, and still needs more time, according to manager Marco Silva."Another player that is going to need more time is Issa Diop."
Impact Diop has no exact timeline for his return and the updates from Silva have been less than insightful. The defender now has two more weeks to recover during the international break but with this sort of foot injury there is some uncertainty if he will return before 2024.
NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out against Tottenham Diop (foot) will be out for Monday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marco Silva.
Impact It's not a helpful update on Diop, who heard a crack in his foot in the match before the break. It's been two weeks since and the team hasn't released any further information, so hopefully that'll change at some point. Without Diop and Tosin Adarabioyo, Calvin Bassey is set to start at Tottenham.
OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hears crack in foot Diop "heard a crack in his foot" in the win against Sheffield United, according to manager Marco Silva.
Impact It's not the best quote from a manager you want to hear following a match and it seems like Diop could be set for time on the sidelines. If there was indeed a crack, Calvin Bassey should be next up for minutes at center-back, as Tosin Adarabioyo is still dealing with a groin injury that has kept him out all season.
OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Forced off in second half Diop was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Sheffield United with an injury.
Impact Diop pulled up in the 71st minute, succumbing to an injury and being replaced by Calvin Bassey. The defender will have just over two weeks to recover before Fulham's next match at Tottenham.
OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet outing versus Luton Town Diop registered one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Luton Town. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 44th minute.
Impact Diop had a quiet outing and wasn't really tested, as Fulham earned the clean sheet and the home win. He logged only one clearance, but now has 28 in five starts so far. The centerback also received his second yellow card of the season.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Completes four clearances Diop generated four clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 43rd minute.
Impact Diop brings his average clearances per match to 6.7 after totaling 27 in the last four games. He's also completed four blocks with three interceptions while also holding on to a clean sheet.
SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Great defensive performance Diop recorded one tackle (zero won) and nine clearances in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Everton.
Impact Diop completed nine clearances for the first time since his move to Fulham, helping them to their first clean sheet of the season. With this performance, the defender is set to keep his center back role this season while looking to keep consistency throughout the campaign.

Excellent defensively Diop had five clearances, four interceptions and three blocks in Saturday's 1-0 win against Brighton.
Impact Diop was an excellent defender across Fulham's first three of four February games the team has played so far. He logged 15 clearances, seven interceptions and four blocks. Diop will have the opportunity to help Fulham log a clean month, and all he has to do is ensure the team maintains one more clean-sheet win Friday versus Wolverhampton.
FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Busy defensively Diop registered two tackles (one won), three clearances and three interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Newcastle United.
Impact Diop was left to pick up the pieces defensively as Newcastle piled on the pressure from start-to-finish in Sunday's loss. The center-back added five blocks and three clearances in what turned into a decent defensive showing. Diop doesn't have any sort of offensive upside, but the lack of quality around him in the team can keep him in the conversation for strong defensive volume.

Fulham and Bournemouth draw 2-2 in EPL

Aleksandar Mitrovic's second-half penalty has salvaged for Fulham a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in the English Premier League

Starting at Forest Diop is in the starting XI for Friday's match against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Diop gets the call Friday in what oddly could be a left-back role in place of Antonee Robinson. It's unclear what Marco Silva is trying to do, but it appears Layvin Kurzawa isn't fit enough to play and he didn't want to use Kevin Mbabu. Diop's lone start for Fulham this season came in the League Cup when they lost 2-0 to Crawley Town.
