Loaned by RC Strasbourg last August, striker Ali Abdallah left the crocodile club and returned to the Alsatian squad.
Aboubacar Ali Abdallah is no longer a Nîmes Olympique player. The attacker, loaned at the end of August 2024 by Strasbourg, returned to Alsace.
The National ranking
“The Strasbourg club called me asking if I was happy with the playerexplains Sébastien Larcier, director of Nîmes Olympique, interviewed this Thursday, January 2 at La Bastide. I replied no, that we were not satisfied with his human investment. And as he didn't necessarily feel happy here recently, a common agreement was quickly found, especially since Racing's policy is to recover its loaned players (Patrick Ouotro, who was in Martigues, has also just been repatriated to Alsace, Editor's note).”

10 apparitions, 1 but
Ali Abdallah therefore did not participate in the resumption with the Crocos last week. Having left to get engaged in Reunion, where he was born, during the Christmas holiday week, the 18-year-old striker went directly to Strasbourg on his return. In total, he wore the Nîmes Olympique jersey ten times (7 starts) and scored one goal, that of the 1-0 victory against Versailles at the Antonins, on September 20, during the 9th day of the National.
No one to replace him
Will Nîmes Olympique look for another attacker to replace him? “Non”replies Sébastien Larcier. As RC Strasbourg covered the entire salary, the departure of Ali Abdallah does not free up the payroll. “We have a quality group and the raw material to do much better”assures the crocodile sports director.

Léon Delpech on departure
Another player is missing: Léon Delpech. The 22-year-old midfielder, not used for a single second this season by Adil Hermach, not even lying on the slightest match sheet, is currently testing at Le Mans, 10th in the National.
Linked with Nîmes Olympique until June 2025, will Delpech terminate his contract? “We’re not there yet, notes Sébastien Larcier, but it could take this form”if the test at Le Mans (or elsewhere) was conclusive.
