Underwent surgery, still recovering

Sanson (undisclosed) underwent surgery during the summer break and is still recovering, according to OGC Nissa.

Analysis: Sanson made 31 Ligue 1 appearances last season, contributing two assists across 1,773 minutes, continuing his role as an experienced midfield option since arriving from Aston Villa. His recovery timeline will be worth monitoring as Nice begins the first stretch of the season without him.
