Ali El Abdi News: Features against Roma

El Abdi (groin) featured 10 minutes in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Roma, confirming his return from injury.

El Abdi was expected to return soon after training fully with the team this week and recovering from a groin injury. The defender played his first minutes of the season in Wednesday's defeat against the Giallorossi and is now back available for the Aiglons moving forward. The Tunisian will likely hold a rotational role for Nice this season, similarly to the role he had last campaign.
