After a training session in the rain, Lucien Favre entered the press conference room, 48 hours before the trip to Angers (Week 33 of L1 on Friday at 8.45).  

Speaking to the journalists, the Nice coach revealed that he has "a couple of doubts" in his squad who will have benefitted from a total of five days recovery since the draw with Rennes (1-1).

"Ill, Mario Balotelli didn't train yesterday (Tuesday). He was back again today. It was better, but he didn't do the whole session" added Lucien Favre, who will make a decision "tomorrow" about the forward.

Doubts are also present surrounding the involvement of Wylan Cyprien. Starting in the last five league games, the midfielder "didn't train". "It's not the knee" reassured his coach, who didn't go into any more detail on the injury other than to add that "it's nothing serious, but I don't know if he will be there on Friday."
