MHSC – Strasbourg: Sylla also injured, Chotard back in midfield… which team will Montpellier play with ?

Michel Der Zakarian and his staff will have to deal with some injuries. Midi Libre – JEAN-MICHEL MART

As they play their first Ligue 1 match this season, Michel Der Zakarian's MHSC will have to do without some injured defenders but will be able to count on the return of Joris Chotard in midfield, after his silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The massacre of left-backs never ends. After Mincarelli, after Saint-Luce, the Guinean Issiaga Sylla is missing to face Strasbourg, this Sunday (5 p.m.) at the La Mosson stadium.

The Guinean international was injured during the week. He forces Der Zakarian to improvise a defense weakened and fragile during the preparation. Falaye Sacko should help out on the left side.

Chotard very present

Joris Chotard, one of the heroes of the Olympics, will be there. Silver medallist exposed to the eyes of La Mosson, he will find Montpellier and his accomplices in the middle: Téji Savanier and Jordan Ferri. He is the other change in the team formed during the preparation. And replaces the young Issoufou.

The two central defenders Modibo Sagnan and “Kiki” Kouyaté, rested throughout the week due to painful knees, are back on their feet. The former will probably be associated with Becir Omeragic.

The probable MHSC team: Lecomte – Tchato, Omeragic, Sagnan, Sacko – Ferri, Chotard, Savanier (cap.) – Nordin, Adams, Tamari.
Substitutes: Bertaud (g), Kouyaté, Dzodic, Chennahi, Barès, Issoufou, Maamma, Ngosso, Coulibaly.
