Twenty-one players have been selected to prepare the trip to Montpellier, this Sunday at 3 p.m., where the Greens arrived this Saturday evening. In the absence of Khazri, Hamouma and Nordin, Claude Puel, who will have to tick 18 names on the scoresheet, has few choices in attack. Bouanga and Honorat should occupy the left and right corridors of the Stéphane attack while Boudebouz and Abi would regain a starting position.
In the middle, the uncertainty surrounding Yohan Cabaye’s participation could lead the coach to establish Aholou alongside M’Vila. In defense, Perrin, and especially Debuchy, should blow. This would allow Yvann Maçon to make his first in green, and the hinge Saliba-Fofana to be renewed after his good performance in Monaco.
If Claude Puel keeps a defense at 5, he will start Loïc Perrin at the expense of an attacker.
The likely composition: Ruffier – Mason, Fofana, Saliba, Silva – M’Vila, Aholou – Honorat, Boudebouz, Bouanga -Abi.
