LA MINUTE SPORT The sporting indiscretions of this Thursday, November 26 – Objectif Gard

Olympic Nimes

Briançon back in 2021. Anthony Briançon should not be operated on for his knee cartilage injury but he will not play again before the start of the year 2021. On the other hand, and according to our information, the Nîmes captain could resume training sessions before the Christmas and New Year. It will then be necessary to wait and follow the evolution of his injury to plan a return to competition. In any case, the central defender will miss the matches against Marseille, Lorient, Nice, Saint-Étienne, Dijon and of course the trip to Monaco on Sunday on behalf of the 12^e Ligue 1 day.

Tributes to Maradona. The death of football legend Diego Armando Maradona saddens all fans of the sport. The legendary number 10 of the Argentina and Naples team died yesterday at the age of 60. Since the announcement of his death, tributes have multiplied across the planet. On the Crocs side, the players reacted on social networks. If Burner decided to post a photo of Maradona in civilian clothes, everyone else opted for the version of the player with the Argentina jersey. “RIP legend” Briançon wrote above a photo where we see Maradona holding the golden ball. Eliasson wrote “Rest in peace” and for Koné it is “Rest in peace legend”. Depres, Paquiez, Ripart, Denkey, Ahlinvi, Roux, Miguel and Sarr also posted photos of the double world champion (1978 and 1986). A tribute will be paid to “El pibe de oro” on all Ligue 1 pitches during this 12th day.

Use

Tesio ou Tessio! During the last two matches played by USAM Nîmes Gard in the EHF European League, against Kristianstad and Bucharest, Romain Tesio wore a jersey flocked with a spelling error in his last name. Indeed, the equipment manufacturer Kappa made a mistake and added an S in the name of the Nîmes winger. If obviously the fault was noted in the first match, this did not prevent the handball player from wearing the same tunic again in Romania, for lack of being able to resolve the situation in time. Hopefully this can be quickly rectified so that Romain does not call himself Tessio again during the next seven European meetings.
