Keita Balde Diao hit back at Lazio Coach Simone Inzaghi after an injury row. “I won’t let anyone doubt my word.”

Now Keita has replied with an angry statement on Facebook.
“I won’t let anyone doubt my word. I have a knee problem and, after a medical check-up for a nasty knock, I was told not to risk it against Atalanta.
“It’s strange that someone who was a player and felt these sensations doesn’t understand.
“I am a professional and I live to play football. I wanted to go to Bergamo to prove it. As I said in the past, I will always give my best for this club, to the last second of my adventure and my contract.
“That’s even if, as you can see, they try to put a spanner in the works every time. At this stage it’s clear that someone thinks with these methods they can force me to do what they want…
“I’ve already said many times what I think. Despite not agreeing with this approach, I will give everything for Lazio and its fans. Because I am proud to wear this shirt and I play for Lazio, not for a project or someone else’s interests.”
