The international break has not seen OGC Nice’s injury crisis relent. Injuries have so far defined Nice’s season. Terem Moffi is expected to miss much of the campaign – or all of it – with an ACL injury. He suffered that injury in pre-season. Morgan Sanson is another player injured before the start of the campaign. He is yet to feature this season.
Injuries have followed in almost every game. Against Paris Saint-Germain, just before the international break, Youssouf Ndayishimiye (initially hamstring but now a back issue) and Ali Abdi (ankle) were both forced off. Both are absent to face FC Nantes on Sunday. Mohamed-Ali Cho is also a doubt to make the trip to La Beaujoire.
Laborde returns for Nice
Melvin Bard (knee) is already out; Sanson is yet to make his return; and Tanguy Ndombélé, who had been nursing a hip injury, will also miss the game against Nantes, as revealed by Franck Haise in a press conference, transcribed by France Bleu Azur.
There is a piece of good news, however, as Gaetan Laborde returns following a significant two-month absence with a fractured metatarsal.
