OGC Nice is gearing up to host FC Nantes at the Allianz Riviera this Saturday afternoon, with coach Franck Haise expected to welcome back several important players and potentially hand out a couple of debuts.
The recent international break has proven beneficial for Nice, marking the return of club captain Dante to full fitness. Midfielder Morgan Sanson is also set to rejoin the squad, having recovered from an injury sustained against SL Benfica at the beginning of August. However, the team still grapples with a number of absences. While Moise Bombito and Mohamed-Ali Cho might be available for selection next week, players such as Tanguy Ndombélé, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Mohamed Abdelmonem are expected to remain sidelined for a longer period.
Adding to the positive news, Jonathan Clauss is also back in contention. He was previously left out of the squad before the international break amidst transfer speculation linking him to Bayer Leverkusen. Furthermore, fans might witness the debuts of new additions Tiago Gouveia and Charles Vanhoutte in the upcoming match.
OGC Nice Predicted Starting XI vs Nantes:
- Yehvann Diouf
- Melvin Bard, Dante, Kojo Peprah Oppong
- Tiago Gouveia, Hicham Boudaoui, Charles Vanhoutte, Jonathan Clauss
- Jérémie Boga, Kevin Carlos, Sofiane Diop
