After forcing the decision in the Coupe de France against OM, LOSC now aims to return to victory in the championship on Friday when they host Nice. A match for which Bruno Genesio will once again be deprived of six players.
Zhegrova candidate for return
“We will take stock with Gabi this afternoon, to see if he is able to be in the group or not. It's a blow, a crutch. Yesterday he was much better. We still have until 9 p.m. tomorrow evening. This gives us time to advise. We may have the return of Edon Zhegrova to the group. We will take stock again this afternoon, for the rest, we have no other entry or exit from the group. Concerning Edon, things are progressing, he is better, but he needs time. That's why we're going to wait until the last training session to take stock. » Finally, Kosovar is still not available.
An injury-prone group?
“It’s a season where we have a lot of absentees, in every match. Even if it's not as bad as a few months ago. I think there were also a lot of matches, with very little recovery for our internationals. This may explain the series of injuries. Once we say that, we're doing pretty well. We always try to anticipate the sequence of matches and the opponents we will meet. »
The group:
Mannone, Caillard, Chevalier – Mandi, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson, Meunier, Diakité, Bakker, Ismaily, Cossier – Angel, Gomes, Cabella, Mukau, André, André Gomes, Bouaddi – Haraldsson, David, Sahraoui, Bayo, Malouda
Absent : Bentaleb, Umtiti, Mbappé, Santos, Fernandez-Pardo, Zhegrova (injured)
