After a long international break, Ligue 1 has resumed its rights since Friday evening. A sixth day of the championship which will conclude this Sunday, with the trip of Olympique de Marseille to Troyes (8:45 p.m.). For this meeting between teams in difficulty, Bruno Genesio has put together a group in which three important players are not there for different reasons.
For this Troyes-OM, it is first Emile Hojbjerg who would be absent due to an injury. Same cause and same consequence for Derek Cornelius. Finally, Timothy Weah will watch the match from afar since he is suspended. For the rest, Bruno Genesio’s group is practically complete.
In defense, Nayef Aguerd is there, just like Emerson and CJ Egan-Riley. In midfield, Marseille will be able to count on Himad Abdelli, Amine Harit and Angel Gomes. Up front, Amine Gouiri and Neal Maupay (among others) will also be available to their coach.
Troyes-OM, duel of poorly classified
The meeting is in any case already crucial for Olympique de Marseille adrift in terms of results, which remains on four consecutive losses in the championship and occupies the penultimate place in the Ligue 1 standings with three points. In the game, the Phocaeans have nevertheless shown some good things during their last outings, but they must now manage to go the distance.
For ESTAC, the need for points is also important, especially since the Aubois have known from the start that they will fight to maintain this season. They remain on three consecutive defeats after starting the season with a draw and a victory.
