No less than three important elements – at a minimum – will miss the Sunday match between OM and the HAC.
OM is not spared at the start of the season. The infirmary is indeed not idle, having already welcomed Ismaila Sarr and Geoffrey Kondogbia, twice, in two months. If the latter should make his return to the Marseille group to face Le Havre on Sunday as part of the 8e day of Ligue 1, the Olympians will have to compose for this match without three other of their executives.
Also returning from injury, Renan Lodi was able to resume a few minutes on Thursday against Brighton in the Europa League but the Brazilian full-back will not be at the Vélodrome this weekend because he is suspended following an accumulation of yellow cards (three warnings in less than ten days). But the Marseille defense will also be deprived of another pillar for the occasion.
“A big loss” deplored by Gattuso
Already absent against the Seagulls after a blow received in training, Samuel Gigot suffers from a cracked rib according to La Provence and must therefore forfeit the match against Le Havre – his return being hoped for the post-international break resumption and the trip to Nice on October 21. Another package announced – but not yet official – that of Jordan Veretout, victim of a muscle injury in the European Cup.

“ It’s certain that we lost a very good player, who had a very good match, in terms of the quality and quantity of the efforts. His injury is a big loss. I hope it’s not serious but it’s almost certain that he will be out on Sunday against Le Havre. Afterwards, we wandered during the truce “, said Gennaro Gattuso, the OM coach, Thursday evening in front of the press.
