Three Players in the Infirmary for One of the Decisive Matches This Season
After four consecutive draws in the championship, OGC Nice hosts the struggling leader, who is on a streak of two consecutive defeats: Paris Saint-Germain. For this crucial match in their season, Didier Digard and his staff will have to cope without three of their players.
Sofiane Diop (injured in the knee during the match against Auxerre) and Youcef Atal (hamstrung during the trip to Nantes) are still unavailable. The former Monaco player might return in the coming days, but caution is advised for the Algerian fullback, who has already suffered three injuries since the beginning of this season. Swiss international Jordan Lotomba, who is suffering from an ankle sprain, is also absent for this confrontation at Allianz Riviera. With Lotomba and Atal injured, it was expected that Antoine Mendy, the only available right-back, would start in the position tomorrow night.
Despite not being able to rely on three players, Didier Digard could see the return of the crucial Hicham Boudaoui. This is good news, given how important the player is to the balance of the Azorean midfield. According to his coach, “He returned this week, he’s doing well. He is not bothered. He is getting better and better with each session.”
