Nice’s Sofiane Diop Sidelined for 6 Weeks, AFCON Participation in Doubt

This absence comes at a critical time for Nice, currently second in Ligue 1 behind Paris Saint-Germain, as Diop has not yet scored a goal or provided an assist this season.

Beyond his club, this injury could also have repercussions on Diop’s international career. Recently called up to the Moroccan national team, he risks missing the next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire, as the duration of his unavailability coincides with the period preceding the tournament.
