Olivier Pantaloni, the technical director of Nice, fielded Egyptian national team defender Mohamed Abdelmonem in his starting lineup for the match against Le Mans.
Mohamed Abdelmonem
Club: Nice
Nice will play against Le Mans in the third round of the French League.
This marks the second consecutive time Abdelmonem has started for Nice, following the previous match against Paris FC.
Abdelmonem played 70 minutes in the previous match against Paris before being substituted, a game that Nice lost 3-0.
Nice currently has one point in the French League this season.
Abdelmonem joined Nice from Al-Ahly last season, before suffering an ACL tear that kept him off the pitch for most of the season.
