Olympique de Marseille confirmed on Tuesday that Geoffrey Kondogbia would be sidelined for around six weeks. The midfielder is suffering from a sprained knee.
Last Friday, Olympique de Marseille suffered to manage to snatch the point from a draw on the lawn of FC Metz (2-2, 2nd day of Ligue 1). If he managed to limit the damage in accounting terms, the Marseille club could not do anything about Geoffrey Kondogbia. Out injured in the fifty-sixth minute of play, the midfielder now knows the verdict of the doctors. The player suffers from a sprained left knee.
The direct consequence is that the former Atlético de Madrid will miss long weeks at OM. A priori, a period of unavailability of six weeks would be the most likely scenario. The start of the season for the Marseille player is in any case quite complicated, he who was notably excluded during the match of the third preliminary qualifying round of the Champions League against Panathinaikos, thus depriving him of a decisive return match ultimately lost by Marseille on penalties.
Get back in shape
OM coach Marcelino will therefore have to review his plans without a key player for his system of play. Holder three times since the official resumption, Geoffrey Kondogbia will rest to try to return as quickly as possible and help Marseille who will have a lot to do, both on the side of Ligue 1 and that of the Europa League.
