OGC Nice predicted XI v Saint-Étienne: Elye Wahi returns, Dante a doubt | OneFootball

Elye Wahi will return for OGC Nice for the second leg of their promotion/ relegation play-off against AS Saint-Étienne on Friday night. 

Wahi missed the first leg of the encounter, which finished 0-0, due to suspension. However, he is once again at Claude Puel’s disposal and is expected to start this evening at the Allianz Riviera.

However, the news is not as good for Hicham Boudaoui. The Algeria international came off in the first half of the first leg with a suspected concussion. Due to the protocols in place, he will miss the second leg, Puel confirmed in a press conference attended by Get French Football News.

Ali Abdi also misses out, having travelled to complete bureaucratic procedures linked to his participation at the FIFA World Cup. Dante, Puel confirmed, was a doubt for the game, as is Tom Louchet.

Nice likely line-up v Saint-Étienne
