new hard blow for Ndayishimiye, affected against Rangers

Dark evening for OGC Nice this Thursday, November 28. On the fifth day of the Europa League, the Riviera club was swept away at the Allianz Riviera by Glasgow Rangers (1-4). This is his third setback (for two draws) since the start of the competition. Penultimate in the standings, the Gym, which still has to face Union Saint-Gilloise (12/12), Elfsborg (01/23) and Bodo/Glimt (01/30), is already on the verge of elimination . But to this umpteenth disillusionment on the European scene, bad news was added for Franck Haise and his staff: the new injury Youssouf Ndayishimiye. Affected, the defender actually had to give up his place in the 19th minute of play this Thursday evening.

Sunday package

The Burundian defender returned from the international break with a hamstring injury, to the point of being forced to withdraw against Strasbourg last weekend in the championship (2-1). Aligned from the start against the Scots, was Youssouf Ndayishimiye revived too early by Franck Haise? “He had resumed by doing part of the session on Tuesday, he did the entire session yesterday (Wednesday), and he had done high-intensity training individually,” replied the Nice technician at a press conference. post-match, before explaining that his player “felt the same discomfort” in his hamstrings as previously. With this in mind, the one who is also capable of playing in the midfield should logically be forfeited for the trip to Lyon on Sunday (5 p.m.) in Ligue 1.
