A reworked defense... OGC Nice's eleven against Reims

The joy of the victory against PSG quickly gave way to the sadness of having lost Mohamed Abdelmonem and Youssouf Ndayishimiye to injury, both victims of a torn cruciate ligament.

Antoine Mendy and Moïse Bombito, back from injury and back in the game, will replace them in the three-man defense alongside the excellent Melvin Bard.

Uncertain this week, after missing the clash at the Parc des Princes, Dante is on the bench.

In midfield and up front, there are no changes compared to the team that ended Paris's unbeaten run. Morgan Sanson, who scored twice, earned the right to start for a second time, while Badredine Bouanani, who provided two assists, will once again play alongside Gaëtan Laborde.

The eleven: Bulka - Mendy, Bombito, Bard - Clauss, Boudaoui, Rosario, Sanson, Abdi - Bouanani, Laborde
