Patrick Vieira has named his squad for the first game of the year.

To face Etoile FC in the Coupe de France Round of 64 tie at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday at 17:15CET, the Nice coach has called up 20 players.

New arrival Riza Durmisi is included for the first time, as is Noah Crétier, the 18-year-old defender who is the son of former Aiglon Thierry Crétier.

Another member of the 2001 generation, Evann Guessand, is also included. The U19 international forward was named in a number of matchday squads in the first half of the season, but has yet to make a first-team appearance. 

Arnaud Lusamba felt a hamstring twinge in Saturday's final training session and so was not named in the squad.

The squad

Goalkeepers: Benitez, Clémentia

Defenders: Burner, Dante, Nsoki, Coly, Durmisi, Cissé, Crétier

Midfielders: Danilo, Thuram, Cyprien, Lees-Melou, Tameze, Boudaoui, Ounas

Forwards: Myziane, Srarfi, Dolberg, Guessand
