Clement: The time is now

The January signing from Rangers is just returning to action after two months out with a foot injury, and finds the famous club in the unfamiliar position of being second from bottom in the Ligue 1 table.

"There are nine matches left in Ligue 1 - they are nine cup finals. We must give our all in each, starting on Sunday against Lens," he said.

"We are going to have to fight and hang on in there. The time for reviews will come in May."

"Certain teams, for sure, are more used to being in the relegation area than others. But whether you are fighting to avoid going down or to play in Europe, it is all about the motivation in the squad.
