Tanguy Ndombélé (28) looked like a player reborn at the start of last season. The Frenchman looked to have got his career back on track after joining OGC Nice on a free transfer, following the termination of his deal at Tottenham Hotspur.
For a short time, there was even talk of a return to the France set-up, however, the injuries that stalled his progress in recent years returned around the turn of the calendar year. Suffering from a pubalgia issue, his last appearance in Ligue 1 dates back to the end of February, whilst the problem has severely limited his gametime. His last start dates back to mid-January. He has not even been included in a matchday squad since February.

Speaking to L'Équipe last month, Franck Haise cast doubt over Ndombélé's future. 'If I could be sure that he could be 100% operational for a season, I wouldn't ask the question (about his future), but that isn't the case,' he said.
L'Équipe understands that the midfielder's future is still up in the air. With his contract up next summer, he must convince Nice's hierarchy to retain his place in the squad. Get French Football News understands that the Frenchman is still struggling with the issue and there is no guarantee that he will be operational come the start of the season, which for Nice starts early, as they contest the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
