Montpellier, revitalized under the leadership of Rolland Courbis, will face Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday in the 27th round of Ligue 1. Unbeaten in their last eight matches, the Hérault side aims to extend their streak to secure their place in the league definitively.
For the clash at Gerland, the MHSC coach can rely on Abdelhamid El Kaoutari to bolster the central defense. The Moroccan international returns to action after recovering from a minor adductor injury, strengthening the squad for the Lyon encounter.
However, Rolland Courbis will still be without Tunisian midfielder Jamel Saihi, who continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury.
Montpellier Squad: Goalkeepers: Pioneer, Jourdren Defenders: Bocaly, Congré, Hilton, Tiéné, El Kaoutari, Deplagne, Jebbour, Assoumin Midfielders: J. Marveaux, Martin, Cabella, Sanson, Stambouli Forwards: Mounier, Mb. Niang, Sou. Camara, Deza, Montaño
