The Olympique de Marseille infirmary is well stocked, but the Marseille club received good news this Friday.
The frustrating draw in the Europa League against Brighton (2-2) left its mark on the Olympique de Marseille group. Mentally, already, given a difficult scenario to accept because of the progress of the match and its refereeing. Physically, too, because the Marseille club lost another manager to injury.
Jordan Veretout was indeed forced out due to injury during this meeting against Brighton. The French world vice-champion took exams this Friday. These revealed an injury to the right thigh, according to information relayed by the newspaper L’Équipe.
More fear than harm for this frame
The daily specifies that Jordan Veretout should be absent “around ten days”, in the best case. A lesser evil in these times. If Olympique de Marseille will have to do without the midfielder for the match against Le Havre this Sunday (1 p.m.), Veretout could make his return to competition just after the international break, against Nice, on October 21.
