OM and OL will approach the clash this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) with reshuffled teams.
If Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais meet this Wednesday for a match classified as very high risk (kick-off at 9 p.m.), this meeting will also be crucial for its sporting challenges. Red lantern in Ligue 1, OL have been playing for survival in each of their outings for many weeks. For their part, OM, stuck in the middle of the table, also have a lot to lose in the event of a setback.
The two teams will also approach this meeting with reduced numbers. OL will indeed have to do without one of its most regular executives in the person of Nicolas Tagliafico. The Argentinian world champion has joined the infirmary because of an ankle injury. His last minute package obviously does not suit Pierre Sage, who already has to deal with the absences of Corentin Tolisso and Johann Lepenant, not to mention that of replacement goalkeeper Rémi Riou.
Opposite, OM will be hardly better off since if Pape Gueye returns from suspension, Gennaro Gattuso could be forced to do without Geoffrey Kondogbia. Affected during the match against Rennes on Sunday (2-0), the latter is indeed in the Marseille group, but it is unlikely that he will be lined up from the start. Furthermore, Marseille is also deprived of Ndiaye ( suspended) and Correa (injured).
