The Nice squad headed to Angers on Friday on the eve of the clash against Le SCO (Saturday, 20:00). Here is the 19-man squad picked by Patrick Vieira for the first Ligue 1 match of 2020.

Suffering an injured pelvis in training, Patrick Burner is unavailable. 

Called up for the Coupe de France Rd-of-64 clash – where he was finally not on the team sheet - Noah Crétier (18 yrs) has once again been named in the traveling squad. 

The young defender has been joined by another player from the youth academy in the form of Balthazar Pierret. The athletic midfielder (19 yrs) played in the friendly against Lausanne last October (0-0). It is his first call up to the first team for an official match.
