Deprived of Mickaël Nadéinjured, the coach of theASSE should trust Younis Abdelhamid to face Montpellier HSC, Saturday (7 p.m.). It would be a final opportunity for the Moroccan defender to redeem himself after the mistakes that led to his relegation to the bench.
ASSE: Yunis Abdelhamid, last chance against Montpellier HSC?
Olivier Dall'Oglio revealed on Friday the list of players selected for the ASSE-MHSC match, counting for the 12th day of Ligue 1. The Saint-Etienne coach summoned a group of 20 players, deprived as planned of Mickaël Nadé et Yvann Maçon. The first suffers from a sprain of the external lateral ligament of the right knee, while the second feels pain in the knee operated on in October.
To compensate for the absence of Nadé, Olivier Dall'Oglio should start Yunis Abdelhamid. Having remained on the sidelines during the last two matches, the 37-year-old defender will have the opportunity to get back on track after disappointing performances which earned him whistles from the Saint-Etienne public against RC Lens. With the confidence of his coach, the Moroccan should recover his captain's armband and his starting place.

However, the performances of Yunis Abdelhamid, starting with those this evening against Montpellier HSC, will be decisive. ASSE supporters will not forgive him for another performance as catastrophic as that against Nice (8-0), where he remained invisible. Will the former Stade de Reims executive be able to seize this new chance? Response in a few hours to Geoffroy-Guichard.
