After the holiday break, football returns to Nice with the first match of this new year: Nice will host the Bretons from Rennes this evening at the Allianz Riviera (at 8:45 PM, live on Eurosport).
This will be a benchmark match to understand if the Eagles have not lost their attractive style of play and especially if they are eager to reach for the Coupe de France, all the way to the Stade de France.
In fact, their excellent start to the season allows for every hope.
Claude Puel must do without the suspended players Le Marchand, Pied, and Hulk, while Le Bihan and Pléa are still injured. Eighteen players have been called up.
In Rennes, the medical report is also quite extensive: Philippe Montanier will have to do without several elements: Ntep, who has resumed training, will not be sufficiently ready, and the same goes for Yoann Gourcuff. Injured before the break, Grosicki, Pedro Mendes, and Mexer are also out.
