In squad to play Wednesday
Niakhate (ankle) is in the squad for Wednesday's match against Fenerbahce.
Analysis: Niakhate didn't play in the 2026/27 Ligue 1 opener against Toulouse this past weekend as a precaution, but the veteran center-back will be an option for Wednesday's clash in the win-or-go-home UCL tie against Fenerbahce. If deemed healthy enough, look for Niakhate to lead the defensive line. He'll probably undergo a late fitness, but seeing him in the squad is a step in the right direction.
Ruled out against Toulouse
Niakhate (ankle) is out of the squad for Saturday's match against Toulouse.
Analysis: Niakhate picked up a minor ankle issue against Fenerbahce and missed Friday's training session, but manager Paulo Fonseca had indicated that the defender was fine. His absence from the squad is likely precautionary with the second leg against Fenerbahce coming up. Felix Bacher will likely be his replacement in this game.
