For the reception of Montpellier, a crucial match for remaining in Ligue 1, ASSE will certainly be deprived of its defender Mickaël Nadé. To replace him, Yunis Abdelhamid could have one last chance with the Greens.
At the final whistle of the match against OL, Mickaël Nadé instantly fell to the ground. Although he finished the meeting gritting his teeth, the pain was too great to remain standing. And at the end of the derby, Olivier Dall'Oglio seemed skeptical: “He felt pain in his knee because his knee was locked but I don't know more. He's a little sore but we'll probably need to take some tests (…) If I had had an extra replacement I would have taken him out.”. The participation of Mickaël Nadé for the match against Montpellier seems compromised.
Abdelhamid, the return?
This absence of Mickaël Nadé should allow Olivier Dall'Oglio to revive Yunis Abdelhamid. Captain at the start of the season, the Moroccan international had a series of poor performances until leaving the starting eleven. A beneficial sidelining since Abdelhamid has been playing as a substitute, ASSE has found its way back to victory… So much so that the supporters no longer want to hear from him. The meeting on November 23 is therefore the last chance for Abdelhamid to attempt a comeback.
Succeed or leave
At 37, Yunis Abdelhamid wanted to take on one last challenge. Free from any contract after a great adventure in Reims, he settled down in Forez to bring his experience and rigor. Interesting in the first matches of the season, his presence became a burden for the team from September onwards. At the end of this month, his future could change. Either he convinces and gets back on track for the rest of the season. Either he disappoints and the doors to the winter transfer window will open wide…
