Striking shortage
The 19-year-old added to the eastern club's casualty list when he pulled up injured, as fellow forward Monsef Zerka had fractured his leg after just three seconds of the French Cup tie against RC Lens on 6 January. Unlike Zerka, who is out for the rest of the season, Dia should return in time for Nancy's UEFA Cup Round of 32 tie against FC Shakhtar Donetsk on 14 and 22 February. He will, however, miss France Under-21s' forthcoming match against Switzerland in Nimes on 7 February.
