Axel Tuanzebe in Auxerre squad for Nice, Fredrik Oppegard returns, Elikya Legros doubtful | OneFootball

Axel Tuanzebe will make Auxerre’s matchday squad for the first time when they host Nice in Ligue 1 on Saturday, with Fredrik Oppegard back and Elikya Legros a doubt.

According to L'Équipe, the 28-year-old Congolese centre-back, a free arrival late in the window, will not be ready to complete 90 minutes. Kick-off is at 20:45 on matchday 4.

Oppegard, the Norwegian left-back, missed last Friday’s 1-3 defeat at Lyon through illness but is available again.

Legros has a knee problem sustained early this week and has not taken part in subsequent full sessions.

Auxerre remain without defenders Bryan Okoh and Marvin Senaya, and midfielder Assane Diousse, all sidelined with knee or thigh injuries. Telli Siwe is out for another six to eight weeks with a hamstring issue.

Left-back Sékou Fofana, recovering from pubalgia, is still not ready to face Nice.

Will Still’s side are bottom of Ligue 1 with no points and 11 conceded.
