OM made some very bad news official this Sunday morning a few hours before the closing clash of the 20th day of L1 against OL.
The disaster scenario. Already handicapped in the midfield by the injury of its captain Valentin Rongier, OM is composing its last weeks with the recurring fragility of Geoffrey Kondogbia, affected again and forfeited for the trip to Lyon this Sunday… and fate has added another sleep this weekend.
Spared these days due to muscular discomfort, Jordan Veretout in turn must throw in the towel for Olympico, leaving the Marseille midfield totally decimated when President Longoria praised his sense of sacrifice again this week at a press conference . Especially since Pape Gueye, back from the CAN, is also on the sidelines…
Merlin and Moumbagna are there
The only positive point for the Marseillais, the premature elimination – like Senegal – of Morocco at the African Cup of Nations, and the early return of Amine Harit and Azzedine Ounahi to support Jean Onana, the winter joker who is definitely very useful.
Note the first appearances in the group selected by Gennaro Gattuso of Quentin Merlin and Faris Moumbagna, as well as the returns also of Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaïla Sarr. Chancel Mbemba, still involved in the CAN with DR Congo, is still missing.
The group of 21 Olympians for Lyon:
Goalkeepers: Lopez, Blanco, Van Neck
Defenders: Clauss, Meïté, Garcia, Balerdi, Merlin, Gigot
Environments: Harit, Tika, Onana, Ounahi, Soglo
Forwards: Moumbagna, Aubameyang, L.Henrique, Correa, Ndiaye, Sarr, Sidi-Ali
