OGC Nice predicted XI v Toulouse: Dante out, Hicham Boudaoui returns | OneFootball

Dante will miss OGC Nice’s season opener against Toulouse FC. The club captain has been suffering from a minor knee injury. Speaking on Friday, Franck Haise confirmed that Dante did not manage to train this week, and so he will play no part for Le Gym on Saturday night.

However, there was better news for Hicham Boudaoui. The Algerian also missed the midweek defeat to SL Benfica in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. However, Haise confirmed that he would be fit to play against Toulouse. Nice will need Boudaoui, with Morgan Sanson currently out with a hamstring injury. It leaves them light in this sector of the pitch, even if Salis Abdul Samed has now arrived and is eligible to feature.
