Bordeaux attacking midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, injured but whose return was hoped for by his coach on Friday, does not figure the Girondin group which must travel to Nice on Sunday on behalf of the 20th day of L1. Ben Arfa injured his thigh during a sprint session after resuming training just after the holidays. Package during the last two days of the first leg in early January, the international was hoped for by Gasset who confided on Friday: “We are on time (for his recovery). He resumed jogging on Wednesday, extended his stride on Thursday and touched the ball a little on Friday. Saturday is the last session. We are going to make a little point with him. It’s tempting but at the same time it’s dangerous ”. Reason therefore surely prevailed on the Girondins side and the former Aiglon will not find the club which had relaunched him during the 2015-2016 season (34 matches played in L1, 17 goals scored and 6 assists).
