Former Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has reportedly been suspended by Montpellier following an alleged attack on his manager after training on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old, who is now under investigation by the club and is reportedly at risk of being sacked, had an eight-year stay in the Premier League, spending four of those at Anfield before leaving the Reds to join Crystal Palace in 2017.

Sakho moved back to France to sign for Montpellier in 2021, but his days at the Ligue 1 outfit now appear to be numbered after a furious exchange with the team’s manager.

The confrontation was sparked when Sakho was not given a foul by Der Zakarian during training, and proceeded to leave the training pitch.

Der Zakarian is alleged to have responded to Sakho walking off by the telling the 29-cap French international that the session was ‘not à la carte’.

This remark angered Sakho who reacted by knocking Der Zakarian to the ground. 

Players and staff members quickly stepped in to prevent the situation escalating further, while Der Zakarian was left furious, banging on the walls and doors to let his frustration out.

Neither Sakho nor Der Zakarian were willing to speak further on the matter to L’Equipe, but it has now been reported by the same publication that the defender has been suspended and will now face a hearing with the club sometime in the next week.

It has been claimed that Sakho was informed of his suspension early on Wednesday morning, which prevented him from training as normal.  

Sakho could potentially be dismissed for serious misconduct if the club find that he acted inappropriately as part of their internal investigation.

He was told he was no longer part of Der Zakarian’s plans in the summer, but was unable to get a transfer elsewhere. 

The Frenchman has made just one brief substitute appearance in the league this term and that could yet prove to be his final outing for the club.

Montpellier have had a difficult start to the season having picked up just nine points from their opening eight games to leave them 14th in the table. They also had a match against Clermont Foot abandoned earlier this month after the opposition goalkeeper was targeted by a firecracker thrown by supporters.

Clermont Foot goalkeeper Mory Diaw was carried off, while his team-mate Neto Borges was then shown a red card for giving a middle finger gesture to the Montpellier fans. 

The game was called off in added time, and Montpellier are set to learn the sanctions they will face for their fans’ behaviour shortly.
