Diakite is suspended for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sparta Prague after accumulating three yellow cards across his first three appearances in the competition.
Diakite has yet to play a minute in the Premier League this season, while making just two appearances across other competitions, including 27 minutes off the bench in the Europa League and 90 minutes in the Carabao Cup.
Diakite (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Newcastle.
Diakite (undisclosed) should be back available for Sunday's clash against Newcastle although he remains not fully fit, coach Andoni Iraola said in the press conference, according to Sky Sports. ''Bafode is also training, I wouldn't say 100 per cent, but I expect him to be available also for the game.''
Diakite (undisclosed) is continuing to work on his fitness and is hoping to return against Newcastle on Sunday, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Alexander Smith of the Daily Echo. "I think he finished with some soreness against Spurs. Has been training, not training, resting a little bit, dealing with the situation in the international break. But he was still not feeling fully confident. And I hope he can be available also next week. With Bafo we have to see how the week goes."
