For the trip on the lawn of AS Saint-Etienne, this Sunday afternoon (1 p.m., Stade Geoffroy-Guichard) on behalf of the 9th day of Ligue 1, the Montpellier Hérault Sport Club will record the return of Pedro Mendes. Cured of the Covid-19, the central defender should regain his place as holder in the eleven pailladin. Good news for Michel Der Zakarian, the MHSC coach, who will have to deal with a decimated group in the Forez. Indeed, Jonas Omlin and Mihailo Ristic are injured in a thigh, while Vitorino Hilton, Arnaud Souquet, Damien Le Tallec and Téji Savanier are suspended.
