Nice’s Injury Crisis Abates: Predicted XI for Lens Clash

OGC Nice’s squad is finally recovering from a prolonged injury crisis that has plagued their season. As they gear up to face RC Lens on Saturday, only three players remain unavailable: Pablo Rosario, Morgan Sanson, and Terem Moffi.

The team has made significant progress since November when a staggering 12 first-team players were sidelined. Gradually, most have returned to action. Sanson and Moffi have yet to make their season debuts, while Rosario, a squad player, completes the short list of absentees.

Tanguy Ndombélé, who has been battling fitness issues, is expected to feature in the starting lineup for Les Aiglons. Jérémie Boga has also rejoined the matchday squad ahead of schedule, though he’s unlikely to start as manager Franck Haise is expected to employ his preferred 3-4-3 formation.

Nice’s Anticipated Starting XI vs Lens:

Goalkeeper: Marcin Bulka
Defenders: Dante, Moïse Bombito, Youssouf Ndayishimiye
Midfielders: Melvin Bard, Hicham Boudaoui, Tanguy Ndombélé, Jonathan Clauss
Forwards: Evann Guessand, Gaëtan Laborde, Mohamed-Ali Cho
