Returns to full team training

Coulibaly (head) has resumed full team training after being forced off during Sunday's Ligue 1 clash against Strasbourg and is available for selection moving forward, according to the club.

Analysis: Coulibaly required medical assistance after appearing disoriented during Sunday's matchup against Strasbourg, prompting concerns about his condition and forcing his substitution for Hicham Boudaoui. However, the midfielder has since returned to full training with his teammates, indicating he has recovered sufficiently to resume normal football activities. The exact cause of Sunday's incident has not been disclosed, but his return to unrestricted training is an encouraging development. Coulibaly should now be back in contention for playing time in Nice's upcoming fixtures, although his involvement will depend on the coaching staff's selection decisions.
