Suffers minor muscular injury
Balogun (groin) suffered a minor muscular injury and is ruled out as a precaution for Friday's clash against Brest, coach Sebastien Pocognoli said in the press conference, according to Vivien Seiller from Nice Matin.
ANALYSIS
Balogun is dealing with a minor muscular injury and couldn't train with the team in recent days. The striker is sidelined as a precaution and won't be able to feature in Friday's clash against Brest. This is a blow for the Diagonale since he is a regular starter in the frontline since the arrival of coach Sebastien Pocognoli and his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Mika Biereth and George Ilenikhena as the main options to replace him against the Ti Zef.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal set price tag
Arsenal will ask Chelsea for £50 million if they want to sign Balogun, according to The London Evening Standard.
ANALYSIS
Arsenal will probably ask other teams for a smaller transfer fee, but they don't want to sell their striker to a rival. However, given what the club has spent over the last 12 months, it wouldn't be shocking if they end up paying what Arsenal are asking. Balogun had an impressive season with Reims in 2022-23 and bagged 21 goals in league play for the Ligue 1 club.
