Florian Thauvin, the strong message sent to OM

It’s a game he undoubtedly ticked off before the season started. Having passed through Marseille between 2013 and 2021 – interspersed with a one-year stint at Newcastle – Florian Thauvin will return to the Marseille club this Saturday (9:05 p.m.), on the occasion of the 9e
day of Ligue 1.

A necessarily special meeting for the 32-year-old French international, who will be closely scrutinized. But this context galvanizes the former Bastiais, according to his trainer Pierre Sage, who expects a big “Flotov” on Saturday evening.

Sage on Thauvin: “We expect him to have a good match”

“We had already had the same kind of question before Lille. In Marseille he left his mark on a period of this club. It will be a special match for him. And when it is for him, he generally has a good match. We expect him to have a good match », said the Sang et Or technician at a press conference this Thursday.

As a reminder, OM are currently leader of the championship, one step ahead of Paris Saint-Germain. Lens is fourth, only two points behind the Phocaeans.
