OGC Nice’s Mohamed-Ali Cho (20) is a doubt to face his former club, Real Sociedad, in the UEFA Europa League on Wednesday, Franck Haise has confirmed.
Le Gym are short of options upfront. Terem Moffi will miss the majority of the campaign with an ACL injury, Gaëtan Laborde is out for a few more weeks with a foot injury, Jérémie Boga is still absent, and Sofiane Diop, who netted on his return against AS Saint-Étienne at the weekend, is not yet in a position to start.
Whilst Haise delivered some good news, revealing that Boga has begun running following his tibia injury, he also delivered some bad news. Cho has scored twice in five appearances in Ligue 1 this season, but his presence against his former club, Real Sociedad, is in doubt.
Haise confirmed that Cho was suffering with a heel injury and therefore won’t train with the first team on Tuesday, one day before their Europa League encounter. However, the Nice manager added that there has been a “positive evolution” of the injury in the past 24 hours, offering hope that the France youth international could be involved.
