Undisputed starter in back line
Ndayishimiye has started all five of Nice's opening Ligue 1 matches in central defense after returning fully fit to begin the season under new coach Olivier Pantaloni.
Analysis: Ndayishimiye has played 418 of a possible 450 minutes, with most of the time missed coming when he left the Sept. 20 win over Lille in the 58th minute. Ndayishimiye has contributed three tackles, nine interceptions and 25 clearances through five appearances for the Aiglons.
Available moving forward
Ndayishimiye (calf) has been cleared and is available for Saturday's clash against Lens, according to coach Claude Puel, per Ici Azur.
Analysis: Ndayishimiye has had a difficult season managing a calf injury that limited him to just two appearances, making his return to full availability a significant development for Nice heading into the final stretch of the campaign. The versatile defender figures to ease back in through a bench role given his injury history this season rather than being thrown straight into the starting lineup, but his availability gives coach Puel another option to call upon for the final stretch of the season.
