Suffers torn ACL

Abergel suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, an injury that means a lengthy absence, the club announced.

Analysis: Abergel had been forced off in the 16th minute of Saturday's shootout loss to Cagliari after feeling discomfort in his knee, an injury that has now been confirmed as significantly more serious than initially hoped. The midfielder, who joined Nice on a free transfer from Lorient this summer, will now miss a substantial portion of the season. With Morgan Sanson still working through reathletisation following his own knee surgery and Salis Abdul Samed not part of the club's plans, Nice is likely to turn to younger players to fill the void. Abergel is expected to begin a lengthy recovery process as the club's medical staff outlines next steps.

Forced off with knee issue

Abergel was forced off in the 16th minute of Saturday's shootout loss to Cagliari after feeling discomfort in his knee, according to coach Olivier Pantaloni, per Nice Mag. "He was worried, he wanted to continue to test himself. Then he felt his knee a bit swollen. So for now, we can't say anything. We'll have to wait for thorough examinations, hoping everything goes as well as possible for him and for us"

Analysis: Abergel initially tried to play through the discomfort on a poor landing after just four minutes before ultimately coming off. The concern comes with Ligue 1 set to resume in two weeks and limited options at his position, with Morgan Sanson still working through reathletisation following knee surgery and Abdul Samed not part of the club's plans. Nice would likely need to turn to younger players if Abergel faces a significant absence. Abergel is expected to undergo further medical examinations to determine the severity of the injury.
