Youssoufa Moukoko and Dante, both of whom started on the bench during the draw against RC Lens over the weekend, are expected to return to the starting line-up when OGC Nice face Lazio in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.
It was Evann Guessand who started up front against Lens, whilst Mohamed Abdelmonem took Dante’s place in the defence. But Guessand and Abdelmonem are expected to drop to the bench for the trip to Rome. There are no fresh absentees for Nice but it is thought that Tanguy Ndombélé is not fit enough to start, although he has made the trip to Italy.
Melvin Bard, Morgan Sanson, Gaëtan Laborde and Terem Moffi all remain absent for Les Aiglons, with the latter expected to miss the majority of the campaign.
