Nice coach Claude Puel will have Mahamane Traoré available for the home match against Bordeaux on Wednesday, Matchday 7 of Ligue 1. The Malian international midfielder returns to the squad after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained on August 15 in Troyes. Traoré replaces Alassane Plea, who is sidelined due to a meniscus injury.
Both teams are eager to use this match to climb the table—Nice sits 9th and Bordeaux 13th. Nice aims to build on their recent 3-1 win over Bastia, while Bordeaux, unbeaten in four matches but with three draws in their last three games, will be pushing for a victory at the Allianz Riviera.
