OM won the last two days of Ligue 1 with the same starting lineup. This will not be the case on Sunday evening at OM since Roberto de Zerbi cannot count on Ulisses Garcia. The Swiss left back, starting on November 23 in Lens (1-3, 12th day) and against AS Monaco on December 1 (2-1, 13th day), is not in the group chosen by the Italian coach of the Marseille club.
On the other hand, Canadian international Derek Cornelius is making his return. One of the summer recruits, injured in his ribs, has not played since the victory in Nantes (1-2) a little over a month ago (November 3). Amine Harit still has to wait. The Moroccan midfielder is in the recovery phase, like Spanish goalkeeper Ruben Blanco and his compatriot, defender Pol Lirola.
