Cédric Hountondji was injured this Wednesday morning during training. A banal action, an aerial duel and a teammate who falls on him. Most of the time, both players get up but not this time. The diagnosis was quick, arm fracture.
The duration of its unavailability is not yet known but it will probably be quite long. Cédric Hountondji’s season may have ended this Wednesday during training. The Ligue 1 championship ends in two months, not sure that the central defender can return in time for the last matches.
A blow for the Beninese international. He had already been seriously injured this season in November during the trip to Saint-Etienne. A problem with the adductors which had kept him away for two months and which had seriously weakened the Clermont defense.
We will have to do without him again for the maintenance operation. The situation of Clermont Foot is not compromised far from it but it is a little more worrying after the three consecutive defeats that the team has just suffered. The club needs all its vital forces and in particular the one who is a pillar of defense. Cédric Houtondji has played 2,045 minutes this season. This makes him the fifth most used player by Pascal Gastien, despite his injury which caused him to miss six Ligue 1 matches.
