ASSE will face Nice this Friday at 8:45 p.m., just one week after its first victory of the season against Lille (1-0). A match likely to propel the Greens into the middle of the table, but for that, it will be necessary to bring back a good result from the Allianz Riviera. In a press conference at noon, Olivier Dall’Oglio spoke about his group and the absences to be expected for this match.
The victory against Lille is already behind the Greens. These first three points have done a world of good to the Saint-Etienne players who quickly turned to preparing for their confrontation against Nice. This Friday, at 8:45 p.m., the kick-off will be given for a match that could allow ASSE to give itself a little breathing room in the event of a victory. The point from the draw would also be a very good operation against a team that is currently not playing in the same league as the Greens, and this, despite the disappointing 12th place of the Aiglons.
To achieve a performance in Nice, Olivier Dall’Oglio will again be without several players. Injured during the match in Brest, Yvann Maçon is out for two months following his meniscus injury. Dennis Appiah should therefore follow up with a second consecutive start. Another absence is that of Thomas Monconduit who has a series of physical problems. (6th injury since his arrival at the club).
As for Anthony Briançon, who has a knee injury, he is also out of the match. Ibrahima Wadji is still on the sidelines and is also nursing a muscle problem after yet another relapse. Coming off a blank season crowned by the goal of promotion to Ligue 1, Wadji does not seem to have emerged from a downward spiral that should keep him away from Ligue 1 pitches again.
Two returns to training for ASSE
On the good news side, Augustine Boakye has trained again, as has Igor Miladinovic who has so far only worn the green jersey with the reserve team coached by Razik Nedder.
Olivier Dall’Oglio’s words on the absences against Nice
Olivier Dall’Oglio (ASSE Coach): ” The operations of Yvann Maçon and Thomas Monconduit went well. Anthony Briançon is out, he still has his knee pain. Ibrahima Wadji is in the recovery phase, while Augustine Boakye is back in the group.
