Dante
42-Year-Old
Nice
Ligue 1
Makes starting squad
Dante (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Lyon.
ANALYSIS
Dante has been deemed fit enough to start Saturday's clash against the Gones. The veteran defender has been managing a recurring knee issue since suffering the injury in the first leg against Benfica in the Champions League in August. He remains a game-time decision on a weekly basis, but when cleared, he is expected to be a mainstay in the back three for Nice.

Suffers setback in training
Dante (knee) suffered a setback from his injury and will miss Saturday's clash against Brest, coach Franck Haise said in the press conference. "He had a reaction in his knee, the same one that bothered him against Benfica, when training resumed at the beginning of the week. Our goal is to have him back after the Brest match. Nantes was his first match in five weeks, and he'd had relatively few training sessions. We discussed it at halftime; he understood very well that there would be too much risk in him playing the full match, and yet there was nothing unusual about his being substituted. We know that sometimes we'll have to take it day by day; we'll see how his knee reacts after the match. This will be part of his season and part of our season."
