Troubled by several injuries since the start of the 2022-23 season, the 31-year-old striker celebrated his return in the last match for Nice. But unfortunately, the player from Sète is not completely recovered from his injury.
After suffering a knee sprain in Auxerre (1-1 on October 16), Andy Delort won the jersey for the Gym against Brest (1-0) by replacing Nicolas Pepe five minutes before the end of regulation time. With this appearance, the presence of the Algerian international in the squad for Lyon seemed logical, but it is ultimately uncertain.
Indeed, OGC Nice’s coach, Lucien Favre, clarified in a press conference that the presence of his number 7 in the squad was ultimately uncertain. “For Delort, I am not sure. He is feeling (his knee) again. We will see.”
In light of this development, the Swiss coach will deploy Gaetan Laborde at the forefront of the Azur attack with even more certainty.
