OM travel to Brest this Sunday at the end of the 22nd day of Ligue 1. With still its share of bad news.
The Marseillais are not getting by. For the sixth consecutive outing, Gennaro Gattuso’s men failed to win on Thursday in the Europa League against Shakhtar Donetsk (2-2). Unable to win since their narrow victory over Thionville in the Coupe de France at the beginning of January, the Olympians it must be said are not spared by fate.
Against Brest this Sunday, the Phocéens will appear on the lawn of the Francis-Le Blé stadium even weaker, with a midfield still decimated since Valentin Rongier, Jordan Veretout and Pape Gueye remain on the flank. Like full-back Amir Murillo.
Veretout, it’s more serious than expected
“ Murillo and Rongier are not available. Veretout either », Said the Italian coach of Marseillais this Saturday at a press conference. And to insist on the Veretout case: “ It’s true that we tried several times to get him back into the group, but he has a problem with his quadriceps and for the moment the race is not yet smooth, he still feels discomfort. We thought it was a little less serious problem, but at the moment he is not yet able to return to the group. »
Another small problem in perspective, the possible withdrawal in Brittany of Pau Lopez, the number one goalkeeper of the Olympians. “ Pau Lopez has a little problem but we still have to evaluate that so we’ll see tomorrow. The others are all available for Brest », concludes Gennaro Gattuso.
