OM welcome Panathinaikos to the Vélodrome this Tuesday in the third preliminary round of the Champions League. With one more absentee to deplore.
Already deprived of Geoffrey Kondogbia, suspended for the occasion after the red card suffered on the way to Greece, the Marseillais will have to compose without their offensive revelation François-Régis Mughe to overthrow the Athenians winners last Wednesday (1-0).
Hit in the ankle in an ugly opposing tackle during the championship match against Reims on Saturday, the young Cameroonian striker is not fit for combat. “All the players are available and can start. Only François (Mughe) is not available”, said Marcelino at a press conference on Monday.
Ismaïla Sarr should therefore start on the right flank alongside Iliman Ndiaye and Azzedine Ounahi – the tip being played between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and a Vintinha who appeared to his advantage this weekend. Another doubt for the starting composition of the Olympians: the presence or not of Jordan Veretout to accompany Valentin Rongier. Mattéo Guendouzi is also strongly anticipated.
