Man UtdAssists in Saturday's win
Dalot assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Dalot recorded his third assist of the season Saturday as he set up Bruno Fernandes' goal in the 81st minute. It marked his first goal contribution since Dec. 8. He created two chances and took two shots in his productive day on the attack. Dalot contributed well on the defensive end too, winning three tackles, making one clearance and blocking one shot in his third clean sheet of the season.
Six crosses Sunday
Dalot had one shot (one on goal) and six crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd minute.
Analysis: Dalot tied a season high with six crosses in Sunday's loss, but he only recorded one accurate cross and did not create a chance so it ended up not meaning much. He put one shot on target for the third time in his last four appearances though as he appears to be finding a rhythm on the attack. He was solid in his duties as a defender too as he won seven duels, made two clearances and won two tackles in his full 90 minutes of action.
Assists in 4-1 away win
Dalot assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Monday's 4-1 win versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Dalot assisted Bryan Mbeumo for the second goal of the game to put Manchester United back into the lead. This was his second assist of the season, and he has now had a goal involvement in each of the last two games. He created four chances in the game, which was the most of any game this season.
Starting as expected
Dalot (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Monday's clash with Wolves.
Analysis: Dalot is back in the starting XI for Monday's clash after a minor knock against West Ham. The defender scored once in that goal and the injury was never expected to be serious, so now Dalot is straight back in the starting XI. Patrick Dorgu is left on the bench for Monday's match.
Should be fit against Wolves
Dalot (undisclosed) scored one goal in Thursday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United before asking for substitution but should be available for Monday's clash against Wolves, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "I think so, we'll see."
Analysis: Dalot scored his first goal of the season during Thursday's draw against the Hammers before asking a few minutes later to be substituted due to an undisclosed issue. The left midfielder will be assessed in the coming days to know the extent of the issue, which should be only minor since coach Ruben Amorim expects him to be fit for Monday's clash against Wolves. That said, if the Portuguese had to miss the game, Patrick Dorgu will likely be the main option to start on the left flank on Monday.
Starting against Brentford
Dalot is in the XI to face Brentford on Saturday.
Analysis: Dalot is getting the nod right away upon recovering from a muscular injury that has cost him the past two matches. He has recorded one assist, three key passes, eight crosses (three accurate) and six clearances in three appearances, with no clean sheets.
Fit for Saturday
Dalot (strain) is an option for Saturday's match against Brentford, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "Diogo is returning to the team."
Analysis: Dalot will not miss any more time with his strain, as the defender is an option after training fully throughout the week. This is good news for the defender, who will now likely have to take on a starting role immediately, taking the spot at right-back for the injured Noussair Mazraoui (undisclosed).
Trains Tuesday
Dalot (strain) is back in full team training, according to his club.
Analysis: Dalot is seeing some good news this week, with the defender back on the training pitch Tuesday ahead of Saturday's contest. This will likely clear him for play heading into the contest with Brentford, having a few days to build up fitness in training. He started in two of his three appearances before the injury and will look to return to his role on the flank immediately Saturday.
Still out against Chelsea
Dalot (strain) is still out for the time being, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference, according to Simon Stone of BBC Sport.
Analysis: Dalot is still dealing with a muscular injury and is out for the time being. His timeline for return remains uncertain, but his absence will open some space for Patrick Dorgu to see increased playing time with the Red Devils.
Remains out Sunday
Dalot (strain) in unavailable for Sunday's derby against Manchester United, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "He cannot help us in this game."
Analysis: Dalot is still dealing with muscle discomfort and will remain out of Sunday's derby against Manchester City. The Portuguese also missed international duty with his country and his timeline for return is uncertain for the time being. That said, Patrick Dorgu will likely step in to replace him on the left flank.
