Olympique de Marseille will be able to count on a valuable comeback for the clash against Olympique Lyonnais this Wednesday (9 p.m.).
Four days after an important victory against Stade Rennais (2-0), Olympique de Marseille are back in the league. The Marseille club faces Olympique Lyonnais in a very high-risk match in terms of security, a little over a month after the serious incidents that occurred in the context of this poster around the Stade Vélodrome.
On the green rectangle, Marseille are approaching this meeting with a little more serenity. Better yet, they will be able to rely on a better-stocked squad since Gennaro Gattuso has made a significant return in the person of Pape Gueye.
An additional option for OM
Suspended for the first four months of this 2023-24 season by the Court of Arbitration for Sport following his dispute with Watford, the midfielder is making his comeback to competition. Gennaro Gattuso confirmed this to the press. “ He is available for this match. He will be able to play during this meeting. He can play one minute or the whole match, we’ll see“, launched Gattuso during this press point.
“Besides, I would like to congratulate him. He played a lot of friendly matches to get up to speed. My compliments to him, he’s a very serious boy”, concluded the Italian technician, not shy of compliments towards his player. With the serious injury of Valentin Rongier and the uncertainty surrounding Geoffrey Kondogbia, this return is excellent news for a Marseille team that is still very fragile.
