Only three days of the championship left for Olympique de Marseille and FC Nantes this season in Ligue 1. With objectives for both teams that are as important as they are different. If the Canaries are looking to maintain their position, the Phocaeans want to obtain a ticket for the next Champions League. Two days before the meeting, Habib Beye gave news of his group.
The Marseille coach was at a press conference this Thursday. In addition to a virulent outing against certain media, guilty according to him of spreading false rumors about the atmosphere felt in his locker room, he took stock of the state of health of his men.
Resting for a while due to a right hamstring injury, Amine Gouiri should be back. Same thing for Igor Paixao who was until then treating a right calf injury. “ (Hamed) Traoré is back. (…) For others, it will be too short. There is a very good evolution from CJ Egan-Riley, from (Geoffrey) Kondogbia. By Bilal (Nadir) also. But it will be a little short for these players. »
Nantes-OM without Pavard or Weah
Habib Beye also confirmed that OM would be deprived of Benjamin Pavard and Timothy Weah against Nantes, due to an accumulation of yellow cards. And he returned to the case of Igor Paixao. “We are very satisfied to see Igor who trained partially yesterday (Wednesday). He will train again today and we will see and adjust the situation on Saturday. »
During the first leg of the championship, Nantes won on January 4 at the Stade Vélodrome (0-2). Marseille finished with ten men after the expulsions of Arthur Vermeeren in the first half, and Bilal Nadir in the second. The Nantes goals were scored by Fabien Centonze and Rémy Cabella.
