Lees-Melou: Out of action
"The season has been over for Pierre Lees-Melou since the derby against Marseille [in Ligue 1 Conforama's Week 36]. He has sustained a hamstring strain," declared the Swiss coach without providing any further details on the injury itself.
Signed from Dijon in the summer of 2017, Lees-Melou earned a place as one of the pillars of the Nice midfield this season, making 34 league appearances (33 starts) and notching five goals and six assists (19th on the assists table).
