The absence of Egyptian defender Mohamed Abdel-Moneim from Nice's squad for the match against Strasbourg in the 29th round of the French league has raised many questions, especially since it is the first time he has been left out of the squad in 4 months, despite his full participation in the previous match against Nantes.

Abdel-Moneim's absence from the team's list is due to a minor injury he sustained in recent days, as he only participated in the last training session before the match, prompting the Nice coaching staff to decide not to take any risks with him.

The club confirmed that Abdel-Moneim's injury is not serious, but he was excluded from the match as a precautionary measure to ensure his full readiness for upcoming matches.

Mohamed Abdel-Moneim joined Nice at the beginning of the current season from Al Ahly SC for a fee of 4.2 million euros and has participated in 16 matches so far across various competitions.
