Diarra AWOL from Marseille pre-season training

Marseille coach Elie Baup on Wednesday said that he still has no news of midfielder Alou Diarra, two days after the resumption of training. \"At the moment I can say that he hasn\'t been here for the first two days when he should have been. Every day he has been marked down as absent,\" Baup told a news conference. \"I left him a message on Monday. I told him, \'You know that we\'re really counting on you\'. I haven\'t had a reply.\" Former Bordeaux coach Baup, who took over from Didier Deschamps earlier this month, said that all the players had signed a form saying that they would be back for pre-season training on July 16. Sanctions for Diarra\'s no-show was a matter for the club\'s management, he said but added that he was an essential part of the team. \"On a sporting level, he\'s a player I\'m counting on obviously. We\'ve got a lot of young players. They need to be with experienced players. \"He\'s one of them. He\'s a great player for Marseille and I\'m counting on him.\" Diarra was in France\'s Euro 2012 squad for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine last month.
