Jonathan Clauss
33-Year-Old
Nice
Ligue 1
GTD
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/9/2025
Training in full, status unclear
Clauss (knee) was spotted training in full on Thursday although his status remains unclear for the time being, according to Solamen Nissa.
ANALYSIS
Clauss is currently dealing with non-injury-related issues with the board and has reportedly been faking injuries to avoid playing and triggering a clause in his contract that would automatically extend his deal with Nice. That said, coach Franck Haise expressed hope on Wednesday that his full back would return to team training, and that was the case as he trained in full on Thursday. It remains to be seen what role Clauss will have in the coming fixtures due to his situation, although there is little doubt that if he is fit and available, he will start on the right flank for the Aiglons. If he were to miss another game, Tiago Gouveia could step into the starting lineup again, as he now appears ahead of Tom Louchet in the hierarchy.

Status uncertain
Clauss (knee) suffered a hyperextension to his knee in Sunday's 2-1 win over Rennes but could miss several weeks for other reasons, coach Franck Haise admitted in the press conference, according to L'equipe. "There's nothing too serious, so we'll see how he is. Yesterday (Monday), there wasn't much to it, it didn't even require extensive examinations. What's certain is that if he's out for several weeks, it won't be because of his knee."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More teams eyeing him
Manchester United, Wolverhampton and Olympique Marseille are also pursuing Clauss, on top of Chelsea, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Clauss is coming off a marvelous season where he logged five goals and 11 assists and a bidding war is brewing for him, although the fact that he has just a year on his contract keeps his price tag in check. Marseille offered €5M, but they were rebuffed. It would likely take double such sum to acquire him, the publication informs. Manchester United and Chelsea are ready to step up their efforts if Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Cesar Azpilicueta depart, which is highly likely.
