OGC Nice’s Youssouf Ndayishimiye suffers hamstring blow | OneFootball

OGC Nice have struggled with injuries all season. They still remain without players such as Gaëtan Laborde, Melvin Bard, Morgan Sanson and Terem Moffi. The latter two are yet to play any minutes this season.

Youssouf Ndayishimiye (25) was also on the treatment table at the start of the season. The Burundi international missed the first game of the campaign before returning for a late cameo in the second game, a 1-1 draw against Toulouse FC. However, he may now be set for another period on the sidelines.

Ndayishimiye was withdrawn in the 57th minute of Nice’s 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday night. Speaking in a post-match press conference, attended by Get French Football News, his manager confirmed the nature of the injury. “Without any doubt, Youssouf has a hamstring injury,” began Franck Haise.

He added, “We hope that he stopped [playing] in time. We don’t know how long he will be out.” The hope will be that it is only a very minor injury and that he will be once again operational after the international break.
