Dante
42-Year-Old
Nice
Ligue 1
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 10/18/2025

Could be available Saturday
Dante trained fully this week and could be available for Saturday's clash against Lyon, coach Franck Haise said in the press conference, according to France Bleu.
ANALYSIS
Dante will be a late call depending on his sensations for Saturday's clash against the Gones. The veteran captain of the Aiglons has been dealing with a recurring knee injury suffered in the first leg against Benfica in the Champions League in August and will likely be a late call for every game moving forward as it will depend only on his sensations. There is no doubt that if he is deemed fit to play, Dante will start 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."
