FC Nantes Worried About Moses Simon’s Fitness Ahead of RC Lens Clash
FC Nantes are concerned about the fitness of star forward Moses Simon ahead of their important Ligue 1 match against RC Lens on Sunday.
The Nigerian international, one of the team’s standout players this season, picked up an injury during training, putting his availability for the match in doubt.
Simon was forced to leave Tuesday’s training session early due to pain in his heel. The extent of the injury is still unclear, and the club’s medical team is closely monitoring his condition.
The timing of the injury is a big setback for Nantes, who are struggling for form after back-to-back defeats, including a heavy 7-1 loss to AS Monaco. They are desperate for a positive result to improve their position in the league.
Simon has been a key player in attack for the Canaries, and his absence would be a major blow. Meanwhile, head coach Antoine Kombouaré is already dealing with a weakened squad.
Jean-Charles Castelletto is out with a calf injury, Nicolas Cozza is suspended after receiving a red card, and Pedro Chirivella is unavailable due to too many yellow cards.
With Simon now a doubt, Nantes will need to find other attacking options to break down a tough RC Lens side. The match will take place at Stade de la Beaujoire, and the team will be hoping Simon recovers in time to play.
