If Group K delivered its verdict on the previous day, the ultimate battle that the Aiglons will wage this Thursday in Arnhem is not without its stakes.
For this match, the Nice coach is expected to rotate the squad, allowing players to showcase their abilities in his eyes.
Eight players, all starters against Metz, have stayed in Nice to recharge their batteries and prepare for the trip to Nantes (17th day of Ligue 1 Conforama this Sunday). As a result, a younger delegation flew to the Netherlands this morning, with the returns of “JV” Makengo, Gautier Lloris, Romain Perraud, and Racine Coly, and the first appearance of forward Lamine Diaby-Fadiga.
This final European trip of the year also marks the “comeback” of Wylan Cyprien. Having suffered a severe knee injury last March, the midfielder has rejoined the professional group for the first time this season.
The probable lineup: Cardinale – Burner, Dante (captain), M. Sarr, Coly – Koziello, Makengo, Cyprien – Srarfi, Plea, Lusamba.
