Nice coach Claude Puel has insisted that his side are "not mature enough" to qualify for Europe, despite their current position of fifth in Ligue 1.
The side will also soon welcome back top scorer Dario Cvitavich, but Puel is still pessimistic about his side's chances of reaching Europe.
"We're not mature enough yet to mix it in the race for the top spots," Ligue1.com quotes Puel as saying.
"The bar is pretty high to make the next step."
Nice have won four of their last seven matches in the league.
