The two full-backs Issiaga Sylla and Silvan Hefti could return on Sunday for the match at Le Havre, the first step in the race to maintain. Doubt remains for Joris Chotard

They are on their way back. The three injured: Issiaga Sylla, Silvan Hefti and Joris Chotard, absent at least during the last match against Paris SG (2-6) foresee a possible return to school on Sunday (3 p.m.) at Le Havre , for the first of the final eight meetings of the season.

With the exception of striker Wahbi Khazri, suspended, will Montpellier be complete to best negotiate this first turn in the race to maintain ?

Footing, cycling and specific session

The two full-backs and the defensive midfielder resumed the race at the start of the week. Sylla, injured in a calf during the warm-up in front of PSG, and Hefti, victim of a thigh injury on March 8 in Nice (0-1), alternate between jogging, cycling and specific session with the physiotherapist before a resumption with the group, this Thursday on the occasion of the opposition.

The uncertainty rests above all on Chotard, injured in his calf during the success in Nice. He competed again on Tuesday morning under gusts of rain and wind, but he still has to take another check-up to get better results. And, the young striker Yanis Issoufou, victim of a sprained ankle with the reserve, is also in the recovery phase.

A plane chartered to repatriate Malians

For the seven selected for the international break, Montpellier is doing everything possible to facilitate their return. Thus, President Laurent Nicollin chartered his private plane to repatriate the three Malian defenders: "Kiki" Kouyaté, Modibo Sagnan and Falaye Sakho.

At the end of the Mali-Nigeria friendly match, scheduled for this Tuesday (9 p.m.) in Marrakech, they will embark in the company of Philippe Delaye, the sports coordinator.

As for Swiss international Becir Omeragic, selected to play in Ireland, he is expected at Grammont on Wednesday.
