Striker Tanguy Coulibaly will return to La Mosson on Sunday against Monaco as part of the Montpellier attack, deprived of several executives.

Tanguy Coulibaly postpones the end. Hungry for the game, the young striker, victim of a slight injury to a thigh during the warm-up against Nantes (1-1) on April 26 and absent on Friday in Toulouse (1-2) , did everything to return to training this Wednesday and play the final two matches. History of preserving the rhythm regained over time after the first six months without a club.

The former Parisian is applying for a starting place to replace Arnaud Nordin in particular on Sunday May 12 (9 p.m.) on the occasion of the last outing at the Mosson in front of Monaco, a team in very good shape at the moment, during the 33rd day of Ligue 1.

Maintenance activated

Montpellier and Monaco will play this meeting without a second thought: the continuation is confirmed for Michel Der Zakarian's team, the return to the Champions League almost assured for Wissam Ben's partners Yedder.

Montpellier will be deprived of at least three major players: Benjamin Lecomte, Arnaud Nordin and Téji Savanier to face Monaco. Montpellier goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, placed on rest, is treating chronic inflammation of the Achilles tendon.

Winger Arnaud Nordin and playmaker Téji Savanier, the two most influential offensive players, are serving a suspension. Furthermore, the former Stéphanois, injured in the adductors on Thursday for the final training of the week, will not play again this season. Neither Sunday nor next week in Lens, for the last match.

Mincarelli also suspended

Téji Savanier, for his part, was sanctioned with a two-match suspension following his expulsion on Friday during the victory in Toulouse (1-2) for a blow to the chest of Venezuelan midfielder Cristian Casseres. And, the young defender Lucas Mincarelli, also suspended, will also be absent against the Monegasques, deprived of Russian maestro Alexandre Golovine.

The two central defenders Kiki Kouyaté, injured in the iliac crest against TFC, and Modibo Sagnan, victim of a thigh strain in training, did not have participated in training on Thursday and are more than uncertain.

Finally, Wahbi Khazri, sidelined during the final two matches, has been training since the start of the week. Der Zak, for his part, is scratching his head to put together a competitive team and face Monaco, and its firepower.
