Maksimovic suffered a left hamstring detachment after a tackle on Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette on Saturday, January 4 in Décines. The Hérault defender had to leave the field on a stretcher in the 64th minute.
Recruitment and Kouyaté
From then on, suspicion of a serious injury and a long absence had spread through the ranks of Pailladins. Fears confirmed at the beginning of the week within a club that could, consequently, take advantage of the winter transfer window to recruit for this position.

Maksimovic, who had played in Italy (Torina, Naples, Genoa), had been recruited urgently at the end of October by an MHSC conceding too many goals and facing a shortage of defenders. The Serbian had quickly conquered La Paillade with his positioning and recovery skills. Without him, coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his staff will have to hope that “Kiki” Kouyaté quickly returns to his level in the coming days, after six months without playing and a knee operation.
