Abdallah Dipo Sima
25-Year-Old
Lens
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 11/21/2026
Ruled out until late November
Sima (thigh) will remain sidelined until the end of November after returning from international duty with a thigh injury, according to coach Yannick Cahuzac, per Lensois. "The bad news is Sima's injury. He came back from international duty injured. He'll be out until the end of November."
ANALYSIS
Sima's extended absence is a significant blow after he established himself as a regular starter in Lens' attack, starting each of the club's first five Ligue 1 matches while recording one goal and one assist. The striker had already missed Senegal's friendly against Comoros because of the issue, and Cahuzac has now confirmed a lengthy recovery period. Franjo Ivanovic and Odsonne Edouard should be among the main candidates for increased playing time in attack while Sima is unavailable.
