OGC Nice predicted XI v Rangers: Franck Haise’s side decimated by injuries | OneFootball

Speaking ahead of OGC Nice’s key UEFA Europa League encounter against Rangers, Franck Haise said that he only has 13 or 14 professional players at his disposal. His options are therefore extremely limited heading into Thursday night’s game.

Nice are already without Moïse Bombito and Sofiane Diop, both suspended, and the likes of Ali Abdi, Jonathan Clauss, Antoine Mendy, Morgan Sanson, Terem Moffi, and Victor Orakpo. However, there are some strong doubts too. Neither Jérémie Boga nor captain Dante trained on Tuesday and neither is expected to start against Rangers. Key forward Evann Guessand, nursing a minor hamstring issue, is also expected to be rested and therefore may not even make the bench.

With limited options, Haise is likely to have to once again deploy Nice in a 4-3-3 with Pablo Rosario filling in at centre-back, Tom Louchet filling in at right-back and academy product Issiaga Camara coming in in the midfield.
