This is the shock meeting of the 30th day of Ligue 1. OGC Nice, which has just been robbed of third place by Rennes, is precisely hosting these Bretons on Saturday, at 5 p.m., at the Allianz Rivera. And to form his group, Christophe Galtier will have to compose without Alexis Claude-Maurice. For him, the season is even over following an operation which took place this Thursday morning, the club said.
“Everything went well but he is unavailable until the end of the season,” said the coach. He was in pain from the screws and plates that had cemented his fracture [du péroné en mai 2021] and it became unbearable. »
Schneiderlin out, Bard back
Morgan Schneiderlin, too, will be absent against Rennes and perhaps beyond. He suffers “from a small calf injury, which occurred in the last minute of the match in Marseille”, on March 20, also indicated Christophe Galtier.
The news is better, however, for Melvin Bard, who had to stay in the Vélodrome locker room at halftime. The left-back was hit in the hip. But “the cut did him good” and “he trained all week,” said the coach.
