Overview
- OGC Nice and Moise Bombito confirmed that he will have another surgery on his injured tibia after club medical tests signaled the need for further treatment.
- Local reporting says the operation will keep Bombito out for several months, creating a prolonged availability issue for Nice.
- Bombito returned to Nice after the World Cup and was left out of the opening Ligue 1 matchday squad because of recurrent pain in the same leg.
- The centre back played for Canada at the World Cup despite not being fully fit, telling Nice’s channels that it was “his body fighting against his heart.”
- Tibia fractures can require lengthy rehab and sometimes repeat surgery, so Nice will need to adjust defensive options while Bombito completes surgery and recovery.
