Diagouraga recalled from Pompey loan

Brentford have recalled midfielder Toumani Diagouraga from his loan spell at Portsmouth.

The midfielder, 26, joined Pompey last month and the deal gave the Bees the option of taking him back to Griffin Park at 24 hours’ notice.

“The idea of sending Toumani out on loan was for him to get valuable game time,” explained Bees boss Mark Warburton.

“We now need him back to make sure everything is in place so we can have a successful end to the season.”

Diagouraga made eight appearances for Portsmouth during his time at Fratton Park.
