The concerns were unfounded. The Lazio forward tested negative for malaria
According to the latest reports from Senegal, Lazio forward Boulaye Dia has undergone medical tests, which confirmed that he is not infected with malaria.
Details: Dia showed symptoms similar to malaria, so additional tests were required to make an accurate diagnosis, which led to him staying at the training camp in Dakar.
According to wiwsport.com, the test results received in the evening confirmed that he is malaria-free.
Reminder: The striker felt unwell earlier this week and was forced to miss the match against Burkina Faso, which took place on Thursday and ended with a 1-0 victory for Senegal.
However, Dia will undergo further medical checks to ensure his good health, and Lazio's medical staff will urge the Senegalese doctors to exercise utmost caution before allowing him to play.
