Less than three weeks before the restart of Ligue 1, Roberto De Zerbi will record the return of a key player in the Marseille squad.

More reinforcements for Olympique de Marseille, but at a lower cost this time. The new coach of the Marseille club, Roberto De Zerbi, will record the return of Valentin Rongier in the coming days. According to The Marseillaisethe French midfielder (29 years old) would indeed be very close to resuming collective training.

After having completed the start of the preparation individually, he should be back with the group within a week, indicates the regional daily. The former Nantais, absent since last November due to a fracture of the kneecap of his left knee, could therefore be fit for the resumption of Ligue 1, against Brest on August 18.

De Zerbi counts on Rongier

The Italian technician would in any case count on him for next season, even if his place in the eleven will not be guaranteed. OM has strengthened its midfield during this summer transfer window, by enlisting Ismaël Koné and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, while Geoffrey Kondogbia, Azzedine Ounahi and Jordan Veretout are still there.
