Clauss Left Out of Nice Squad for PSG Trip as Haise Stresses 100% Readiness

Overview

• Despite training on consecutive days, Jonathan Clauss was not named in Nice’s group to face PSG on Saturday at the Parc des Princes.
• Clauss is recovering from a knee hyperextension sustained at Rennes on October 26 and still reports discomfort, while Haise says medical exams returned “very normal” results.
• Haise reiterated that selection depends on total readiness, said the situation is uncomfortable for all involved, and noted he has not held a one-on-one discussion with the player.
• Nice-Matin previously reported that Clauss could seek to avoid an appearance threshold that would trigger a one-year extension, a claim that remains unconfirmed by the club.
• Le Parisien reports persistent tension around the player’s status, including frustration over a failed summer move to Bayer Leverkusen and the fact he had played 13 of Nice’s 14 matches before this setback.
