Five saves in defeat
Diop registered five saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-1 defeat versus Lyon.
Analysis: Diop racked up five saves in Friday's 3-1 Ligue 1 defeat at Lyon, twice denying Lois Openda, including a shot that grazed the top corner and a header from the center of the box, before being beaten by Felix Bacher's 28th minute header, Zachary Athekame's low finish in the 31st minute and Ernest Nuamah's 53rd minute strike. The goalkeeper helped keep Auxerre within striking distance at 2-0 with several key stops during a dominant first-half spell from Lyon, but he could not keep the hosts from adding to their lead after the break. Auxerre remain winless through their opening three Ligue 1 matches of the season following Friday's defeat.
Allows three in loss
Diop made three saves and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-1 loss against Angers.
Analysis: Diop wasn't at fault for any of the goals he allowed but from a fantasy perspective it's hard for a goalkeeper to be a net positive when he gets beaten so many times. With eight goals conceded over two starts and a defensive line that isn't helping as expected, Diop is one of Ligue 1's last goalkeepers you would like to pick for a fantasy team right now.
Four saves in 5-2 defeat
Diop recorded four saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-2 defeat versus Lens.
Analysis: Diop made four saves but conceded five goals as well. Other than that, the 26-year-old made a clearance as well. Diop's next assignment will be against Angers.
Joins Auxerre
Diop signed a four-year contract with Auxerre after joining from Grenoble, the club announced.
Analysis: Diop arrives following a strong spell in Ligue 2, where he established himself as Grenoble's first-choice goalkeeper over the past two seasons. The 26-year-old featured in 30 league matches during the 2024-25 campaign before following it with another productive season that included nine clean sheets. Standing at 2.04 meters, he brings an imposing physical presence and valuable experience to the position. Diop is expected to compete for playing time in Ligue 1 as he takes the next step in his career.
