A surprise at OM

If Ruslan Malinovskyi has been sidelined, Cengiz Ünder is in OM’s squad for the third round of Champions League qualifying against Panathinaikos on Wednesday night.

Marcelino’s OM are complete for their first official match of the season, the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League, against Panathinaikos, Wednesday (8 p.m.) in Athens.

Cengiz Ünder is in the group. The Turkish winger did not come into play in the last warm-up match against Leverkusen last Wednesday at the Stade Vélodrome, but his transfer to Fenerbahçe never materialized.

The recruits Renan Lodi, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Ismaïla Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are well on the trip to Greece.

Only Ruslan Malinovskyi, not registered with UEFA for this double confrontation because he is about to leave (for Italy), and Pape Gueye, suspended for 4 months, are missing.
