OGC Nice will welcome back some key players for their visit to face Stade Brestois on Saturday afternoon. However, they will once again be without their club captain.
Dante has been in and out of the squad this season. The defender, who will turn 42 next month, injured his knee earlier in the season, during the UEFA Champions League qualifier against SL Benfica, and it is an issue with the same knee that will see him miss out against Brest. He is expected back in training at the start of next week.
However, there are positives for Nice, who welcome back Mohamed-Ali Cho and Moise Bombito. Neither has made an appearance so far this season. Tiago Gouveia, meanwhile, is set to make his first start for his new club.
