Nice midfield whiz Hicham Boudaoui suffered a meniscus injury during his side’s 2-1 victory over Nimes, the club confirmed on Saturday.
Boudaoui, 21, was handed his 17th start for the Eagles as they looked to consolidate on their triumph at Rennes.
But he was only able to complete the first 45 minutes, as Adrian Ursea's men led 1-0 at half-time thanks to Amine Gouiri’s fourth-minute strike.
