Everton Pereira

Plays 24 minutes in friendly

Everton (ankle) played 24 minutes in Friday's 2-0 friendly loss to Juventus, confirming he is back fit for Nice.

Analysis: Everton had been ruled out for the remainder of last season due to a significant ankle injury suffered in training, an issue that cut short a promising start under former coach Claude Puel, during which he started three of five appearances. His return to match action confirms he has put that injury behind him, and his workload should continue to build as Nice progresses through the rest of preseason.
