Montpellier are sticking with Mamadou Sakho.

There had been claims the former Liverpool defender was to be sacked by MHSC after a furious training ground bust-up with coach Michel Der Zakarian last week.

However, Foot Mercato says Sakho has returned to training with the team.

The centre-back has a contract with Montpellier until the end of the season.

Sakho has previously played for clubs such as Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Paris Saint-Germain.

He also has two goals in 29 international matches for France.
