OGC Nice predicted XI v Saint-Étienne: Tanguy Ndombélé out | OneFootball

Tanguy Ndombélé is the only new absentee for OGC Nice as they look to continue their fine run of form when they visit AS Saint-Étienne.

Ndombélé, as revealed by Franck Haise in midweek, is suffering with a pubalgia issue, which has been recurring for a number of weeks. The Frenchman even saw a surgeon a few weeks back in order to evoke the possibility of surgery. It was decided at the time that surgery was not necessary and this assessment still rings true. Nonetheless, Ndombélé will play no part for Nice today.

Morgan Sanson and Terem Moffi are both nearing returns for Le Gym but neither will be fit in time to play against Saint-Étienne. It will therefore be Gaëtan Laborde who continues to lead the line with Evann Guessand and Mohamed-Ali Cho alongside him.
