Mario Balotelli could make his Nice comeback in Thursday's Europa League encounter with Krasnodar.
Nice boss Lucien Favre has hinted that Mario Balotelli could return for the French side in Thursday's Europa League clash with Krasnodar.
The Italy international - who has scored four goals in three games in all competitions since arriving at the Allianz Riviera - missed his side's 1-0 victory at Nancy on Sunday due to a groin problem.
But Favre has not ruled out the possibility of the former Liverpool man featuring in Russia as Nice looks to secure its first win in Group I after losing the opener against Schalke 1-0.
