Franck Haise will bench Terem Moffi at kickoff for the Nice-AS Roma clash, part of the opening round of the Europa League group stage. The reason? He was late to a meeting on Monday.
Starting against Brest (1-4) last weekend, the Nigerian striker netted his second goal of the season. However, he won't make a second consecutive start due to this disciplinary lapse.
Indeed, in his pre-match press conference, Franck Haise announced his intention to move the 26-year-old forward to the bench. He explained his decision in comments reported by L'Equipe: "Of course it's important to build momentum, but some things matter more. Team life, many things, the collective spirit—those are more important than anything in my eyes."
It's worth noting that the former Lorient forward has scored 2 goals in 7 appearances across all competitions this season.
