After dominating Lyon and Angers in recent weeks, OM has not missed the pass of three at the expense of Saint-Etienne this Saturday during the 22nde Ligue Day 1. At the Vélodrome, the Marseillais cheerfully imposed themselves on the 5-1 score. A beautiful evening with a downside all the same: the absence of a Luiz Felipe nevertheless expected to start against the Greens.
According to Maritima Karim Attab journalist, the Italian-Brazilian defender suffers from a muscle lesion to a calf-an injury contracted on Friday in training and which will be the subject of new exams early next week.
An injury that falls badly
The first winter recruit of OM, debauched on the side of Al-Ittihad where he was not playing in recent months, the experienced defender of 27 years has not yet played a minute in the Marseille jersey. And this setback is all the more unfortunate since Roberto de Zerbi will have to do without the services of a Leonardo Balerdi suspended, on February 22, in Auxerre.
For sure, the Marseille medical staff will not take any risks with the former Lazio and Betis player, prudence being always of rigor with such lesions. Touched at the calf lately too, Geoffrey Kondogbia took a month and a half to recover.
