Keeps clean sheet for draw Djalo had a clean sheet, two fouls drawn and three tackles (one won) in Sunday's 0-0 draw to Lyon.
Impact Djalo switched now to left-back and continues to get the nod with games at right-back and center-back as well of late and has turned into the swiss-army knife for the Lille back line. He's produced one goal, one assist and two clean sheets over his past seven starts and has also been very productive in defensive peripheral stats.

Wins three tackles in shutout win Djalo had a clean sheet, three tackles (all won), six clearances and a yellow card in Tuesday's 1-0 win over RB Salzburg.
Impact Djalo and the Lille back line finally held first clean sheet in last six matches and only fourth on the season. The center-back has been a massive factor of late on both sides of the ball with three straight matches with a major contribution and has mounted one goal, one assist and one clean sheet over that period.

Assists in 2-2 draw Djalo tallied one assist, two shots (one on target), two aerials won, two interceptions, two blocked shots and five clearances in Friday's 2-2 draw to Monaco.
Impact Djalo continues his crusade up front and has now added an assist next to his goal from last match. He's also had one clean sheet over the last six matches and has been very productive in fantasy formats of late. Lille however have allowed seven goals over the past five matches and he's a bit risky option.

Bags opener in 1-1 draw Djalo scored on his lone shot and added two interceptions and two aerials won in Saturday's 1-1 draw to Angers.
Impact Djalo not only made the starting XI but made a huge impact on the game with his first ever Ligue 1 goal. While he was a surprising figure to finish an attack, he's now taken a shot on goal in back to back matches and may be increasing his offensive role. The youngster's playing time though will be on the watch after the break as Sven Botman is nearing a return now.

Starting against Angers Djalo (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Angers.
Impact Djalo stays in the XI despite going a full 90 midweek and dealing with a hamstring complaint. The hope is that he doesn't make things worse and if he can go the full 90 Saturday, he'll use the international break to get back to full health, at least that's the best-case scenario.

Faces late fitness test Saturday Djalo is dealing with a hamstring discomfort to his thigh and could be facing a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's match versus Angers, L'Equipe reports.
Impact Djalo has played well of late and his potential absence could be massive blow for the champions especially given Sven Botman is still out. Xeka is expected to slide back at center-back if Djalo can't go.

Keeps clean sheet versus Sevilla Djalo had a clean sheet, two blocked shots and four clearances in Wednesday's 0-0 draw to Sevilla.
Impact Djalo and the Lille back line have now held two clean sheets in last three matches while allowing just one goal in that period. The squad remain with just three clean sheets on the season though. The center-back has racked up four tackles and eight clearances since taking over the starting job and will likely have a few more starts while Sven Botman is still sidelined.
