Does training warmup Cabral (hamstring) participated in the warmup of Thursday's team training session, according to Christopher Roux from Nice Matin.

Impact Cabral has been managing a hamstring issue, but there was a positive sign Thursday as he took part in the warmup during team training. That's an encouraging step in his recovery process. Still, he's likely a few weeks away from rejoining the matchday squad, and even when fully fit, he projects more as a depth option off the bench than a regular contributor.

Sidelined with hamstring issue Cabral won't play Saturday versus Lyon due to a hamstring injury, Christopher Roux of Nice Matin reports.

Impact Cabral's absence is only a minor blow to the squad given that he has yet to start in the current league campaign and only came off the bench five times including both Ligue 1 and UCL action. His expected return is currently unknown. In any case, Mamadou Coulibaly will likely retain the starting spot even when the youngster is available again.
