Roberto De Zerbi was in the conference this Friday, on the eve of the 12 matche day of Ligue 1 between OM and Brest at the Vélodrome stadium (5 p.m.). And the Marseille coach made a rather unexpected announcement concerning one of his players.
Put on the shelf since the start of the season, with only one appearance in the group but no minutes played, Neal Maupay could make his comeback against the Bretons. The Ciel et Blanc coach plans to summon him for this meeting.
Roberto De Zerbi announces return
“Neal Maupay will perhaps be on the benchhe revealed. Why now? Because I see him better physically, he is more positive. (…) Sometimes I lie about my composition, but here I tell the truth: I don’t know who will play and how we will play. »
The 29-year-old striker, under contract until 2028, was pushed out during the last summer transfer window because he no longer fit into the plans of “RDZ”. But he refused to leave the Marseille club, a decision which resulted in his being sidelined.
