Ruled out for Roma clash Djalo (not injury-related) wasn't called up for Sunday's game versus Roma.

Unused versus Inter Djalo (knee) recorded no stats in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Inter Milan.

Impact Djalo was called up for the first time this campaign but didn't get on the pitch as expected considering the importance of the game, and his recent transfer and subpar form. He'll likely need the right situation to start seeing minutes. He'll be the fifth/sixth option in the back from here on out. He has registered 31 tackles, 23 interceptions, and 53 clearances in 25 matches with Lille last season.
