L’Olympic Marseille still can’t continue. Despite a decent match overall on the pitch Nice On Saturday, the Olympians lost (0-1) and failed to record a second consecutive success in the championship. In the Europa League, Gennaro Gattuso’s men were also convincing – at least from an offensive point of view – but remained frustrated with two spectacular draws (3-3 against Ajax Amsterdam, 2-2 against Brighton).

Good news for Clauss

On Thursday, they will have the opportunity to take the lead in Group B in the event of a victory againstAEK Athens, current leader after a victory and a draw. But the match in Nice left its mark, particularly for Jonathan Clausreleased at half-time, as well as Paul Lopezwho had to give way to Ruben Blanco at the hour of play. After exams taken this Sunday, the results are not the same for the two Marseille players most used this season.

According to information from RMC Sport, the French full-back’s hip injury is not very serious and should not prevent him from playing against AEK. For his part, Pau Lopez will undergo additional examinations this Monday after his thigh injury and could therefore miss this meeting. Finally, Joaquin Correa and Samuel Gigot could return to the group this week.
