Olympique de Marseille must get back on track. Defeated 11 against 10 by Paris Saint-Germain during the Classic (0-2), the Marseille club wants to get back on the path to victory during the 28th day of Ligue 1.
But to take the three points, Jean-Louis Gasset's men will have to defeat Lille OSC at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. A meeting which promises to be intense and contested between two teams who are contenders for European places next season.
Not spared from injuries for several weeks, OM will have to do without one of their defensive executives. Left with an injury a few minutes before the hour mark against PSG, Chancel Mbemba will be absent against the Mastiffs. Jean-Louis Gasset announced the news at a pre-match press conference this Thursday.
“ Amir (Murillo editor’s note) partially resumes with the group. He is a joker. The news are good. On the other hand, for Chancel (Mbemba editor's note), they are also in the sense that there is nothing serious. He just has a pinch that he had in Porto. The doctors did what was necessary. It will just be for tomorrow. But I think he will be operational for Benfica,” he announced to journalists.
Starter against Benfica in the Europa League?
If he will miss the match against LOSC this Friday evening, Chancel Mbemba should be present for the quarter-final first leg of the Europa League against Benfica Lisbon at the Estadio da Luz. A valuable element of the Marseille squad since his arrival in the summer of 2022, his presence is essential for this European meeting. He could be associated with Samuel Gigot within the central Olympian hinge.
