Weighed down by injuries during the first part of the season, theOGC Nice enters 2025 with a workforce that is still very decimated. But the Riviera club can still count on some returns. Franck Haise announced it on the eve of the match against Rennes, this Friday (kick-off at 9 p.m.).
“ “Momo Cho, Mohamed (Abdelmonem), Youssouf (Ndayishimiye) and Antovraine (Mendy) have done almost everything since the restart. They are operational. Hicham (Boudaoui) is no longer suspended. Pablo Rosario and Dante also participated rather well in the sessions, even if their start of the recovery was adjusted. Ali (Abdi), Tom Louchet and Moïse (Bombito), who had a small adductor injury after the Coupe de France match, are doing pretty well, but their presence is more uncertain. »
Returnees lined up from the start?
It remains to be seen whether the Rennes coach intends to revive all these wonderful people from the kick-off of this important match. Haise shouldn’t take any risks. The other executives are expected at kickoff. Despite the ranking photograph, the Gym coach is wary of his opponent.
“They went through a lot of changes in the offseason, a lot of departures and arrivals, he warned. It’s difficult to build in such a short time. But there is a lot more solidity in the last matches. It’s a team that concedes few chances. And with quality players on the offensive level. It obviously remains a direct competitor for European places. »
The expected line-up for Nice : Bulka – Ndayishimiye, Dante, Abdelmonem – Mendy, Boudaoui, Ndombele, Bard – Laborde, Guessand, Diop.
