Fabrice Abriel, the midfielder for OGC Nice, will be sidelined from Ligue 1 action for a considerable period due to injury. Sustaining an injury during the match against Bastia, Abriel has been diagnosed with a partial rupture of a ligament in his right ankle. The injury, resulting from a strong challenge by Bastia defender Sébastien Squillaci, requires significant recovery time.
Coach Claude Puel confirmed Abriel’s absence, stating that he will be sidelined for at least four weeks. This setback comes at a challenging time for OGC Nice’s midfield, already missing Mahamane Traoré due to injury. The club will provide updates on Traoré’s condition later in the week, but for now, they must cope without Abriel’s presence on the pitch.
