What will OM look like in Brest?
New coach, squad still deeply shaken up during the summer transfer window, which eleven will OM line up next Saturday on the Brest pitch for the resumption of Ligue 1?

Time is running out and theMarseille Olympics has still not signed a starting goalkeeper or centre forward, positions that are so important in a football team. The successor to Pau Lopes, considered undesirable by the management of the Provençal club, is awaited although Jeffrey de Lange signed on Thursday.

The 26-year-old Dutchman, who arrived from the Dutch Championship (Go Ahead Eagles), should only be the number two in the position. The holder would be none other than the Argentinian Geronimo Rulli (Ajax Amsterdam), eliminated by France during the Olympic tournament. Discussions have not yet been finalized with the man who also plays in the Eredivisie.

Doubt for the goalkeeper

Ruben Blanco injured in a friendly, De Lange could have his chance in Brest on the occasion of the first day of Ligue 1. Saturday evening, we should see some new recruits play, taking into account the players used by Roberto de Zerbi during the five summer preparation matches played by OM.

Lilian Brassier, Ismaël Koné, Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Valentin Carboni, Derek Cornelius and Jeffrey de Lange are the new faces from Marseille.

We took a risk with a starting eleven for the trip to Brest, knowing that Brassier will be suspended.
