The president of the MHSC does not intend to release a second player if midfielder Joris Chotard, pre-selected, is selected to play in the next Olympics.

Montpellier did not have contact with coach Thierry Henry or with the FFF regarding its playmaker and captain Téji Savanier who appeared on an extended list of fifty players. In any case, President Laurent Nicollin has no intention of releasing a second player if midfielder Joris Chotard, pre-selected, is selected to play in the next Olympic Games in Paris (July 26). – August 11).

Lacazette and Mateta

"Téji is not on the pre-list. This saves me from having to discuss with the FFF, because there is no question of two players going to the Olympics. I'm not going to be the only club to let two players go. For the Olympic Games in Tokyo, I had released Teji (Savanier) and Dimitri (Bertaud) was likely to be called up if necessary, he explains.

For now, the Bleuets coach has retained two of the three players over 23: Lyonnais Alexandre Lacazette and Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta .
