ASSE welcomes Montpellier tomorrow evening at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard. A meeting that is already essential in the race to remain in Ligue 1. The Greens have the opportunity to take a 6-point lead over the MHSC. Jean Louis Gasset's men can come back to match the Stéphanois. This match already looks like a turning point for the rest of the season. Olivier Dall'Oglio has just announced his group for this meeting.
A revamped defense?
The ASSE infirmary was emptied before the derby. Several players have returned, such as Pierre Cornud and Ibrahima Wadji. The Senegalese striker also scored in a friendly against Aubagne during the international break. In Lyon, bad news came at the end of the meeting. Mickaël Nadé injured his knee during a duel with Ernest Nuamah and barely finished the match. Affected by the external lateral ligament, he will be out for 4 weeks. Yvann Maçon suffers from knee pain and will miss this meeting.
Dylan Batubinsika also had to undergo treatment. The Congolese international suffered a muscle injury 10 days ago, with his selection. If nothing serious is to report, this injury does not reassure Olivier Dall'Oglio. The PSG-trained player played and scored on Tuesday. The defender should therefore apply for the Montpellier reception. Finally Ben Old is still absent. The New Zealand winger was injured in the knee 1 month ago and will miss at least 3 more months of competition.
A crucial meeting for the rest of the season in Ligue 1
The reception in Montpellier promises to be perilous for ASSE. Jean Louis Gasset's men returned to success against Brest before the international break. Enough to gain confidence before coming to challenge a direct competitor. Olivier Dall'Oglio's men have been warned. A victory for the visitors would allow them to return to equal points. A success for the Greens would leave Montpellier in the red zone with 6 points behind.
