French pacesetters OGC Nice will be without skipper Jose Cobos for three weeks because of a thigh injury.

Mean defence
The 34-year-old defender's towering displays have been instrumental in Nice establishing themselves as the most consistent team in Ligue 1 this season. The club's defence has been resolute, conceding just seven goals in 16 matches, while Cobos has also chipped in with three goals.

Pitau also out
Midfield player Romain Pitau will also be sidelined for two weeks after injuring himself in the same game. Nice are two points clear of Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille and are leading the chase for a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.
