Montpellier predicted XI v Monaco: Boubakar Kouyaté and Jordan Ferri suspended | OneFootball

Montpellier HSC’s latest defeat, at the hands of fellow strugglers SCO Angers was a big blow. Not only did the 3-1 defeat leave them rock-bottom, forcing Jean-Louis Gasset to announce “mission impossible” in the fight to stave off relegation, it also saw them lose two players, including their captain.

Jordan Ferri has inherited the armband since Téji Savanier was stripped of the captaincy. However, he was sent off late on after he lashed out at his opponent. He will miss Friday’s game against AS Monaco, as well as the next two fixtures. Boubakar Kouyaté was also sent off late in the encounter against Le SCO and will also miss this match through suspension.

Nikola Maksimović is also out for Montpellier. He joined on a short-term deal midway through the first half of the season but has already suffered a season-ending injury.
