On the eve of OM’s trip to Clermont, Saturday evening in Ligue 1, Jean-Louis Gasset took stock of the Marseille infirmary.
Never two without three for Jean-Louis Gasset on the OM bench? Undefeated since he signed for Marseille, with two victories against Shakhtar Donetsk (3-1) and Montpellier (4-1), Gennaro Gattuso’s successor will try to continue on the Clermont lawn, Saturday evening (9 p.m.) , during the 24e day of Ligue 1.
A match that the Ciel et Blanc approach weakened. “(Ruben) Blanco is absent, (Valentin) Rongier has an appointment with the professor on Monday and (Michael) Murillo had surgery, I saw him in treatment this morning”announced at a press conference the coach of the Marseille club, who will be deprived of one or even two other major players in Auvergne.
Leg absent longer than expected
Jordan Veretout is the first concerned. “He has a little problem with his psoas that we saw on the MRI. We protect him, explained Jean-Louis Gasset, before mentioning the even more problematic case of his central defender and captain, Samuel Gigot: “He has an achromioclavicular sprain, he is out and probably only for tomorrow. »
Bad news for OM, which is entering an important period of its season. Ninth in Ligue 1, eight lengths from the podium, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s teammates must both get closer to European places and prepare for their round of 16 in the Europa League against Villarreal next Thursday.
