OGC Nice predicted XI v Lille: Tanguy Ndombélé a doubt

Tanguy Ndombélé, who missed the midweek Coupe de France victory over SC Bastia, is a doubt for OGC Nice as they prepare to take on Lille OSC on Friday night.

The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is contending with a minor injury and whilst he could play a part, it is equally likely that he could be rested by Franck Haise, who was cautious when evoking the midfielder’s return tonight. There are still a few major absentees for Nice although the major injury crisis has somewhat abated.

Moïse Bombito is still out and will be for a couple more weeks. Morgan Sanson is nearing a return but is not yet near match fitness, whilst Jérémie Boga and Terem Moffi are more long-term absentees. Both are expected to play some part for Le Gym before the end of the season but their returns are not exactly imminent.

OGC Nice likely line-up v Lille

Marcin Bulka; Melvin Bard, Dante, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Jonathan Clauss; Sofiane Diop, Pablo Rosario, Hicham Boudaoui; Evann Guessand, Gaëtan Laborde, Mohamed Ali-Cho.
