Les Monégasques face Clermont Foot on Saturday, before facing Montpellier HSC and FC Nantes before the end of the campaign. The Principality club are currently second, two points ahead of third-placed Stade Brestois and three points ahead of Lille OSC.

Hütter said that Zakaria’s participation in the Euros is also in question, with the former Juventus and Chelsea midfielder a mainstay in the Switzerland side.
