Youcef Atal is set to return to the OGC Nice squad after serving a suspension last weekend. The Algerian full-back has been included by coach Patrick Vieira for the upcoming Ligue 1 clash against Angers on matchday 15.
Atal will be joined in the squad by his fellow Algerians Hichem Boudaoui and Adam Ounas, strengthening the team’s options in both defense and attack.
The full group called up by Vieira is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Benitez, Clémentia
Defenders: Atal, Dante, Sarr, Lloris, Nsoki, Coly
Midfielders: Cyprien, Thuram, Lees-Melou, Danilo, Lusamba, Boudaoui
Forwards: Ounas, Myziane Maolida, Claude-Maurice, Dolberg, Ganago
Atal’s return adds pace and attacking threat from the right-back position, which could be crucial as Nice look to secure a positive result against Angers.
