After Senegal’s early exit from the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, Papy Djilobodji has returned to club duties and is back in the squad for FC Nantes. Coach Michel Der Zakarian included the defender among the 18 players selected for the Ligue 1 Matchday 24 clash against OGC Nice this Sunday.
Also returning is Issa Cissokho, who has recovered from a back injury. Kian Hansen, initially a doubt, is fit and included. However, Johan Audel is ruled out due to a thigh injury, while Serge Gakpé, Koffi Djidji, and Fernando Aristeguieta have been left out of the squad.
🔰 Nantes squad to face Nice:
-
Goalkeepers: Dupé, Riou
-
Defenders: Alhadhur, Cissokho, Djilobodji, Veigneau, Vizcarrondo
-
Midfielders: Hansen, Bedoya, Bessat, Deaux, Gomis, Nkoudou, Veretout
-
Forwards: Bammou, Bangoura, Iloki, Niane
Djilobodji’s return will strengthen the Canaries’ backline as they aim to build momentum in Ligue 1 following the international break.
