FC Nantes head coach Michel Der Zakarian has publicly criticized striker Mostafa Mohamed for being untraceable as the team resumes training in Ligue 2 following relegation. Mohamed has been absent since his salary was reportedly halved due to the club's drop from Ligue 1. In a press conference, Der Zakarian stated, 'We don't know where he is. We call him, sometimes he doesn't answer. The club calls him, I haven't called him. We're not paying him, that's all. He's the one at fault, not us.' The situation highlights ongoing tension between the player and the club over financial terms after relegation.

FC Nantes resumed training several days ago, but striker Mostafa Mohamed remains untraceable — a situation that continues to frustrate new Canaries head coach Michel Der Zakarian.
This afternoon, Der Zakarian again addressed the absent goalscorer, who has been sulking since his salary was at least halved following the club's relegation.
"We don't know where he is. We call him, sometimes he doesn't answer. The club calls him — I haven't called him. We're not paying him, that's all. He's the one at fault, not us."
