OM are going through a difficult time, both on and off the field. Weighed down by three setbacks in the space of four days, the Marseillais lost control in the race for the Champions League. So much so that they are condemned to beat Nice this Sunday evening at the VĂ©lodrome, at the end of the 31st round of Ligue 1. Under penalty of losing their footing permanently.
To achieve this objective, Habib Beye will necessarily have to innovate, he who will be deprived of many elements against the Aiglons. To the absences of Nayef Aguerd, CJ Egan-Riley and Geoffrey Kondogbia were added those of Amine Gouiri, Igor Paixao and Bilal Nadir after the defeat at Lorient last week (2-0). And the list just got longer today.
Traoré, the surprise package…
Announced as a starter, Hamed Junior Traoré will also ultimately be missing against the Gym – a real blow for the Olympians with a stricken offensive sector. The Ivorian striker is ill and therefore does not appear in the group published this Sunday by the Marseille staff, replaced at short notice by the young Tadjidine Mmadi.
The Marseille group to face Nice
Goalkeepers: Rulli, De Lange, Vermot
Defenders: Balerdi, Emerson, Hamzaoui, Pavard, T.Weah, Medina
Midfield: Abdelli, Hojbjerg, Kamissoko, Nnadi, Timber, Vermeeren
Forwards: Aubameyang, Greenwood, Lago, Lamare, Nwaneri, Mmadi
