Diarra (groin) continues to make progress in his rehab, manager Regis Le Bris told media during Thursday's press conference. "Habib is making good progress at the minute," Le Bris stressed. "He is pain-free but he still needs time to feel right within himself. We try to manage the output for the club and the national team so it's a balance. We can manage that through conversation so that is ongoing."
ANALYSIS
Diarra has yet to return to action since suffering an injury in September. Diarra is expected to represent Senegal at the upcoming AFCON in January, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to play for Sunderland before the end of December.
