OGC Nice will face Olympique Lyonnais at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday night, but Morgan Sanson will remain sidelined despite manager Franck Haise’s recent announcement about his potential return. Sanson, who joined from Aston Villa, has been out for the entire season due to a double ankle fracture sustained in the summer. While Haise indicated Sanson might be available, he is not included in the squad for this match. Terem Moffi is also absent but is close to returning.
Tanguy Ndombélé is another notable absentee for Nice due to a persistent pubalgia issue that has been affecting him for months, requiring careful management of his playing time.
