OGC Nice predicted XI v Strasbourg: Evann Guessand and Dante to return | OneFootball

Evann Guessand was dropped last week as OGC Nice lost against his former club, FC Nantes, at the Allianz Riviera. The Ivory Coast international is expected to return to the starting line-up against RC Strasbourg Alsace on Saturday night.

There are two more returnees for Nice: Melvin Bard and Dante. Unlike Guessand, who did come off the bench against Les Canaris, the pair missed out entirely last weekend through suspension. Mohamed Abdelmonem, an injury doubt for this game, and Ali Abdi, are expected to give way.

Baptiste Santamaria is also expected to return to the starting line-up alongside Hicham Boudaoui. Tanguy Ndombélé is the only confirmed injury absence. He continues to struggle with a pubalgia issue and Franck Haise is increasingly pessimistic of the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder’s chances of playing again this season.
