Massacre for OM before Newcastle, the big disaster
On the eve of the crucial Champions League match against Newcastle on Tuesday evening (9 p.m.), the Olympique de Marseille infirmary is always full, particularly in the defensive sector.

Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi announced bad news at a press conference.

Package confirmed for Aguerd

Moroccan international defender Nayef Aguerd is officially out of the clash against the Magpies due to pubalgia. The club prefers to preserve it, especially since it is expected for the next CAN.

For his part, Facundo Medina, absent for almost two months, experienced a relapse and complications with his ankle injury. His return has been postponed and should not take place before January. Roberto De Zerbi emphasized: “ Medina had a relapse. He should be arrested for another month. He is difficult to replace, both in terms of his character and his physical characteristics. »

Long-wounded

Other important players remain absent for a long time: Amine Gouiri (shoulder) is still out since October 4, and Hamed Junior Traoré (thigh) has not played since September 12.
