OM finds itself in a critical situation at the time of the first international break. After six official matches played this season, the Marseille club already has five defeats on the clock. Five consecutive losses for a failed start in the Europa League but also and above all a 17e position in Ligue 1 synonymous with virtual relegation.
Very quickly, Bruno Genesio, it is true, had to deal with a reduced workforce. Beyond the numerous sales made necessary this summer by the alarming financial context of the Marseille institution – none of which could be compensated since OM did not record any reinforcements during the transfer window – the locker room was not spared from bad luck.
Geoffrey Kondogbia and Tochukwu Nnadi were injured against Monaco on the second day of the championship. A huge loss for a team in need of an alternative. And this Sunday evening during the Classic lost at the Vélodrome (1-2), Igor Paixao and Amine Harit in turn joined the infirmary.
Big concern for the recovery
The Brazilian winger is suffering “ from a blow to the head of the fibula and also complains of muscle pain. He must take additional exams on Tuesday to determine the duration of his absence », Underlines L’Equipe this Monday. His Moroccan counterpart “ is muscularly affected and must have an MRI within the week “.
If both men were to be absent for the resumption of the championship, in Troyes on October 11, Bruno Genesio would certainly find himself faced with a new puzzle in composing his offensive line-up. The alternative options to date on the flanks are Keyliane Abdallah and Tadjidine Mmadi.
