Olympique de Marseille hopes to turn the page for this electric August. The Phocaeans gave themselves a little respite with a quiet success against Lorient (4-0) last Friday, but the week that arrives at all of the real test, with a trip to the lawn of Real Madrid in the Champions League, then the reception of Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
For this first Spanish earth shock, OM will have to do without one of its recruits from the end of the transfer window, Nayef Aguerd. The Moroccan defender had however made very good beginnings against Lorient, even scoring the last goal of his team at the end of the game. But he had also been the victim of a head shock.
This Monday morning, Nayef Aguerd was absent from training, of a Commotion Protocol. According to the team, the former player of Rennes and West Ham will not make the trip to Madrid with his teammates this Monday afternoon, as a precaution.
Aguerd absent, Balerdi back
In his absence, Captain Leonardo Balerdi, left on the bench against Lorient because of his late selection, should find a holder's place. The Argentine international will be eagerly awaited after his start to the difficult season. It should be associated with Benjamin Pavard and Facundo Medina, in a possible three -defense.
For her part, Amine Gouiri, also touched against Lorient and released on injury, is on the way back. The center forward position will be played between him and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
