Injury news going into the derby

Here’s the injury news ahead of our encounter against Monaco (this Sunday at 17:00 at the Allianz Riviera).

In addition to captain Dante, who underwent surgery on his injured ACL this week, Patrick Vieira will also be without Danilo and Hassane Kamara. Just like the brazilian midfielder, the left back is suffering from a thigh injury. “Hassane felt a pain on Thursday in Prague (3-2 defeat away to Slavia),” the Nice coach explained during this Saturday’s press conference. “The tests revealed a muscular injury. It’s very bad news for us as Hassane is an important player because of the energy he brings to the team. He offers so much going forward, as well as defensively. We’ll need to make up for his loss with other players who possess similar qualities.
