Nothing will be spared at Montpellier HSC this season. Last in Ligue 1 with only 9 points on the clock, the MHSC, which is 7 points behind the first non-relegation place, Saint-Etienne, has just received some very bad news.
The worst defense in the championship with 39 goals conceded in 16 matches, the Hérault club coached by Jean-Louis Gasset, will have to cope without one of its defenders until the end of the season.
Serbian central defender Nikola Maksimovic suffers from a disinsertion of the ischio of the right thigh, contracted on Saturday during the defeat (1-0) in Lyon, and will not play again this season, Midi Libre tells us.
A huge blow for Gasset and the MHSC, especially since Maksimovic had been recruited as a joker to strengthen a defense that was completely in disarray. Knowing that the 33-year-old Serbian defender only signed a short-term contract until the end of the season, it is very likely that he played his last match against OL.
The lights are more red than ever on the Montpellier side, which sees the specter of Ligue 2 hovering over its head. When nothing goes right…
The question now is whether President Nicollin will put his hand in his pocket during this January transfer window to recruit a defender? There is no doubt that given the current context, the option of a loan should be preferred.
