Mohamed Abdelmonem and Ali Abdi have both been included in OGC Nice’s squad for their upcoming Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint-Germain this Friday.
The clash, which is part of the 31st round of the French league, will see Nice face the newly crowned champions at the Parc des Princes.
Despite PSG securing the title, Nice is still pushing for a top-five finish and a potential European spot.
Nice is currently in fifth place with 51 points, and they will be hoping to continue their strong form against PSG.
Abdi, 31, has been a key figure for the team this season, featuring in 29 matches after his move from Caen.
The Tunisian midfielder has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists, making him an important attacking threat for Haise’s side.
Meanwhile, Abdelmonem, who joined Nice at the start of the season from Egyptian club Al Ahly, has played in 17 matches.
The Egyptian defender recently made his return to the starting lineup in the match against Angers after being omitted from the squad for the Strasbourg game.
Abdelmonem’s presence in the defense will be crucial as Nice look to keep PSG’s potent attack in check.
With Paris Saint-Germain having already secured the league title, the match will give Nice a chance to build on their position in the league and maintain their push for a European spot.
Haise’s side will be eager to prove themselves against the reigning champions, with both Abdelmonem and Abdi set to play pivotal roles in the highly anticipated encounter.
