The Marseille captains this season have been abandoned by luck. After Valentin Rongier, injured for several months, OM has just lost Samuel Gigot.
The slight respite did not last. Energized by two consecutive victories since the arrival on the bench of Jean-Louis Gasset, OM are plunging back into difficulties. The Olympian coach did not announce good news regarding the state of health of some of his players. Starting with its captain and central defender. “ Gigot has an achromioclavicular sprain, he is out and probably only for tomorrow (SATURDAY), because it’s still important,” declared Jean-Louis Gasset on Friday at a press conference.
Samuel Gigot, on the sidelines last October due to a fractured rib (he had missed two games), will first miss the trip to Clermont, Saturday evening within the framework of the 24th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 9 p.m.). If we have correctly understood the message from the OM coach, the 30-year-old risks missing a few additional matches after Auvergne. Enough to shake up the defensive organization, at 4 or 5, and more generally the entire tactical plan.
Murillo, it’s over!
“Between March 2 and March 17, we play 5 matches. We can’t start with a typical team and say that we’re going to play all 5 matches like that, we need to have several tips to prepare for eventualities.” confides Jean-Louis Gasset. He also announced the withdrawal of Jordan Veretout for the meeting in Clermont, with the red lantern. The midfielder complains of his psoas. Amir Murillo has most likely finished his season. The Panamanian full-back suffers from adductor longus tendinopathy of the right thigh which means he will need between 2 and 3 months of recovery.
In any case, OM is once again deprived of its captain, Samuel Gigot, as was the case with Valentin Rongier named number one wearer of the Olympian armband. The defensive midfielder has not played for almost four months due to a kneecap injury.
