The Montpellier coach could count on the return of his two attackers on Sunday February 11 against Lyon at La Mosson. A meeting that the defender should miss. 

Montpellier recovers its strength when it needs it most. After the return of its defenders committed to the CAN, the MHSC could count on the presence of Akor Adams and Arnaud Nordin for the crucial reception of Lyon, Sunday (5:05 p.m.) at La Mosson, during the 21st day of the League 1. 

If it will be without the Jordanian Mousa Tamari, hero of the first leg (1-4) and in full dream of the Asian Cup with a final to be played, this meeting between two teams tied just above the barrage square should allow Nordin to regain the ground.

The winger, who has had a string of muscle injuries since this summer, was again hit in the thigh after a half-time against Lille (0-0), on the 28th. January. The ex-Stéphanois, who appeared nine times in L1 this season (2 goals, 1 assist), then missed the trip to Rennes (2-1) and the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Nice ( 1-4), Wednesday. He trained normally this Friday, in Grammont. 

Will he be able to play on Sunday ? "I think so", replied Michel Der Zakarian, this morning at a press conference. 

Suspense for Adams, Omeragic spared

If it is confirmed, the presence of the attacker against an OL transfigured by the winter transfer window will not be too much. And it could be added to that of Akor Adams. Victim of recurring back problems since a winter break during which he did not save time, the Nigerian striker was spared during the 32nd then 16th finals of the Coupe de France and had missed a day for the first time of L1, last Saturday in Rennes.

"We'll see for Akor", however, tempered the Hérault coach regarding participation on Sunday. But the center forward, out of goals since October 29 in L1, took part in the session this Friday, finishing with exercises in front of goal alongside Yanis Issoufou. 

For the rest, Der Zak will probably have to compose without Christopher Jullien, injured in the "arch of the foot". Furthermore, Becir Omeragic, starter against Nice on Wednesday, remained in the room. and had been "spared" this morning. 

But the Montpellier rearguard should find its Africans. If the Malian Falaye Sacko has returned to Montpellier, one day late and "no news" until Wednesday, his compatriot "Kiki" Kouyaté could regain his place in the defense. Like, undoubtedly, the Guinean Issiaga Sylla. Additional forces at a crucial time.
