Two days before the Lyon reception, OM finds itself in a quandary regarding a particular position.
This is bad news! While a very important Olympico is looming at the Vélodrome – rescheduled for this Wednesday evening after the sad events of October 29 – Gennaro Gattuso risks being faced with a major problem when it comes to putting together his starting lineup.
Sent off for a clumsy sole on Sunday evening against Rennes, Iliman Ndiaye will be suspended against Les Gones – even if it is a late match in the 10e lifting of L1 that he was supposed to play. “ Any licensee excluded during an official competition match by decision of the referee is automatically suspended for the following official competition match of each team of his club without prejudice to more serious sanctions which may be imposed after examination. », recalls article 9 of the LFP disciplinary code.
An offensive animation to review
Last week, in the same scenario, Clermont defender Alidou Seidu was unable to play the replay of the 8e day of L1 against Montpellier, he who had seen red four days earlier against Lens. For OM, it is all the more handicapping as Joaquin Correa, the alternative to Iliman Ndiaye on the left side of the Marseille attack, is injured after a rough tackle in front of Ajax. The Marseillais will therefore have to rethink their offensive animation to accommodate their Lyon counterparts.
