Ligue 1: with Nordin and Savanier but still reduced, the MHSC group to travel to Brest

Nordin fait son retour dans le groupe héraultais, après une blessure à un mollet contractée le 29 novembre. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

Fragilisé notamment par la CAN, le MHSC s'appuiera sur un groupe de 20 joueurs sans surprise notable, ce dimanche 14 janvier à Brest. 

Michel Der Zakarian deals with the vagaries of the moment. Still diminished by the African Cup of Nations and injuries, the Montpellier HSC coach has called a group of twenty players which includes the returns of Arnaud Nordin and Téji Savanier, ;#39;occasion of the trip to Brest, this Sunday.

If it was certain that Montpellier could once again count on its captain Savanier, back from suspension, the presence of Nordin was less certain. On Friday, Der Zak had considered it, leaving a slight doubt. He was lifted this Saturday and the winger is on the trip to Brittany, more than a month and a half after a new calf injury contracted on November 29 against Clermont (1-1).  

Brest little weakened by CAN

Decisive last season (9 goals, 5 assists), Nordin has only started three games during the current campaign, handicapped by thigh problems since preparation.& nbsp;

For the rest, the MHSC will have to cope without eight players, between the African internationals at the CAN (Bertaud, Kouyaté, Sacko, Sylla, Tchato), at the Asian Cup (Tamari) or the wounded (Mincarelli, Sainte-Luce). 

On the other hand, Brest accuses a single “notable" absentee, Doumbia having left for the CAN. Camblan (suspended) and the injured Amavi and Lebeau will also be missing.
