ASSE travels to Nice this Friday for Ligue 1 match day 5. The Niçois will be keen to win after losing to Marseille last weekend. Franck Haise appeared at a press conference this Wednesday. The opportunity to take stock of the state of his troops.
Nice plucked
Franck Haise (OGC Nice Coach): » There are no major changes. For Morgan Sanson (ankle injury), I had hoped that he would be able to resume team training this week, but that won’t be the case. We won’t have him back right away. I think it will be more like October. Hicham Boudaoui (seriously injured knee) has resumed re-athletic training, it’s progressing rather well. We’ll see in the two and a half weeks left before the break if we can get him back. We have a little doubt about Issiaga Camara, he has a tendon problem. He was in treatment yesterday (Tuesday, September 17). He should still train today. And Terem Moffi (ruptured knee ligaments) and Gaëtan Laborde (also injured knee) are still missing.
As a reminder, during the 2024-2025 season, Terem Moffi scored eleven goals, and Gaëtan Laborde five. In addition, Hicham Boudaoui had a very convincing start to the season. Important absences for Nice before hosting ASSE.
A changed lawn
Faced with pitch problems since the start of the season, OGC Nice has finally seen work begin. Conditions should be ideal this Friday.
Franck Haise (OGC Nice Coach): “ It will be much better than our first match anyway. I want to see the pitch before the match, but I haven’t had time to go there. I know that a lot of work has been done on it for several days. It will obviously be even better in the coming weeks, but I hope that we will already have a quality pitch for the reception of Saint-Étienne.”
