OGC Nice will face Olympique de Marseille on the 9th day of Ligue 1, but Nice coach Francesco Farioli will have to do without two of his key players for this match. Youcef Atal has been suspended until further notice by the club due to an ongoing investigation into advocating terrorism. This suspension means that Atal will not be available for the match against OM.
In addition, Khephren Thuram, another key OGC Nice player, was suspended for this match due to the accumulation of three yellow cards in less than 10 days of Ligue 1. His suspension will take effect from Tuesday October 17 2023 at 00:00.
These absences will certainly be a big blow for OGC Nice, as Atal and Thuram are important players in the team. The match against OM promises to be interesting, despite these notable absences.
