Montpellier and Bordeaux are set to clash this Sunday in a crucial fixture for the 29th round of Ligue 1. Coming off a defeat against Lyon (1-2) last weekend, Bordeaux’s hopes for European qualification are gradually fading. To keep their European dreams alive, securing a victory against Montpellier is imperative.
However, Bordeaux will face this challenge without the services of their attacker, Cheick Diabaté. According to Sud-Ouest, the towering Malian striker is still grappling with tendinitis in his knees and has been undergoing treatment instead of training. As a result, Diabaté is expected to miss the upcoming match against Montpellier. His injury woes stem from his recent participation in Mali’s match against Senegal.
