The news is a massive blow for Diarra who will have been hoping to impress Hansi Flick ahead of the new campaign.
The 18-year-old is a very highly-rated talent, who is believed to have attracted offers already, and has been tipped to make it into the first team.
Let’s hope the injury is not too serious and he can recover quickly.
