Terem Moffi Sanctioned Ahead of OGC Nice Europa League Clash with Roma

Nigerian striker Terem Moffi will miss OGC Nice’s Europa League match against Roma .

This latest development comes after he was sanctioned by coach Franck Haise for breaching internal team rules.

The 26-year-old was penalized alongside teammate Jonathan Clauss for arriving late to a first-team meeting just hours before the highly anticipated fixture.

Moffi’s sanction comes as a significant setback after he recovered from a serious knee injury that sidelined him almost entirely last season.

Moffi has scored twice this season but won’t be available against Roma due to Haise’s strict disciplinary rules.

He previously been reprimanded by former coach Francesco Farioli for lateness. This latest disciplinary action signals a clear message: no player, regardless of talent, is above the collective rules of the squad.

Haise stressed the importance of team cohesion, stating, “There’s team life, there are lots of things that are very important.

There’s the notion of the collective. And that’s more important than anything in my eyes.”

Terem Moffi quickly established himself as one of Nice’s leading attacking threats following his arrival from Lorient.

His absence against Roma is expected to impact Nice’s offensive options.

It also highlights the coach’s commitment to enforcing discipline and maintaining squad unity.

As Nice prepares to face Roma, all eyes is on how the team adapts without their Nigerian striker.

Moffi will hope to bounce back in future matches to continue his promising form in Europe.
