Striker and former Tunisian international Wahbi Khazri, injured in a thigh, is unavailable to play on Friday against Lens at the start of the 15th day of Ligue 1, we learned from the Hérault club on Wednesday.
Khazri (32 years old) suffers from a “small injury to his ischios”, according to his trainer Michel Der Zakarian. Khazri was injured on Sunday during the defeat in Monaco. The former Stéphanois has played 14 matches since the start of the season (one goal), sometimes replacing, sometimes starting.
In addition to Khazri, the Montpellier coach deplores the injuries of several players: Arnaud Nordin (calf), Issiaga Sylla (calf), Léo Leroy (pubis), Théo Sainte-Luce (ankle) and even Jordan Ferri, uncertain due to a right knee injury. Central defender “Kiki” Kouyaté, excluded from Monaco, is suspended. Montpellier occupies 13th place in Ligue 1, one point ahead of play-off Lorient, before facing the Northerners at La Mosson.
