Currently on trial with the Gym, no official announcement has been made for Salvatore Sirigu. The Italian goalkeeper is thus missing his big return to the Parc des Princes while the Nice squad is traveling almost in full.
The duel of the undefeated! For this fifth day of Ligue 1, the Gym is traveling to Paris. Francesco Farioli’s men will try to maintain their undefeated streak against a team that has been thriving since Kylian Mbappé’s return to the Parisian line-up. The latter was absent during the match against Germany last Tuesday, but after a reassuring clinical examination of his patellar tendon, he is expected to be in the Reds and Blues squad. However, no Marco Asensio, as the Spaniard is suffering from a foot injury and will remain in treatment until the end of the month. On the Nice side, there are no surprises except for the absence of Alexis Beka Beka, who has been injured since the restart.
Although favorites on paper, Paris is far from having won, and Luis Enrique is aware of that: “Nice is a team that works hard. They take few risks and are courageous with and without the ball. It will be a tough opponent, but we want to start this series of matches with a victory.” [PSG Inside].
“Tribute Jerseys” in Solidarity with Morocco
Following the devastating earthquake that hit Morocco at the end of last week, OGC Nice will pay tribute to the victims of the earthquake. While a minute of silence will be observed before kickoff, the Aiglons will step onto the Parc des Princes field wearing a special jersey, emblazoned with the message “Support for Morocco”. These jerseys will then be auctioned on the matchwornshirt platform, and the proceeds from the jersey sales will be donated to the victims and families affected, to provide them with material resources and permanent or temporary accommodation.
