The Clermont Foot Courier
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Famara Diédhiou scores twice — 8.48
Two goals and a mark of 8.48 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

A fracture rules Ilyes Hamdia out for 18 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Clermont Foot will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Axel Camblan runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Words at Clermont Foot training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Natanaël Thio is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Abdellah Baallal in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Clermont Foot this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Ivan M'Bahia
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Loan watch14 Sep 2026
Yad Lochereau has seen enough of RC Lens
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Clermont Foot, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.
In brief
