Olympique de Marseille have excellent news when they face Shakhtar Donetsk this Thursday (6:45 p.m.).
It is with a slightly larger group that Olympique de Marseille will challenge Shakhtar Donetsk this Thursday in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League. Gennaro Gattuso indeed recorded an important comeback for this meeting against the Ukrainian team.
The OM coach will be able to count on Chancel Mbemba. Returning to Europa after an epic journey to the semi-final of the African Cup of Nations with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mbemba is fully operational for the match against Shakhtar. The central defender flew with the rest of the group to Hamburg, where the match will be played.
All the lights are green for this OM executive
However, there was doubt as to the availability of Chancel Mbemba for this deadline. The former FC Porto player was lined up with his selection for the match counting for 3rd place in CAN 2023, which took place on Saturday against South Africa (0-0, 5-6 tab).
But all the lights seem green for the Congolese, determined to quickly plan on his club objectives after a great adventure in this continental tournament.
