After OM’s victory against Nantes (2-0), Sunday evening in Ligue 1, Jean-Louis Gasset gave news of Jonathan Clauss, last minute withdrawal for this match.
It was without Jonathan Clauss that OM won against Nantes, Sunday evening at the Vélodrome, their fifth victory in a row in all competitions (2-0). While he was expected to start against the Canaries, the Marseille right-back finally sat in the stands alongside a long-term absentee, Valentin Rongier, after exchanging a few words with Medhi Benatia on the edge of the lawn.

If Jean-Louis Gasset aligned Bamo Meïté in the right lane of defense against Nantes, beaten thanks to a double from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, he knows very well that Jonathan Clauss is difficult to replace in his position. “Every time he is not there, we are forced to invent a strategy to deal with that, without having specialistshe said. Eventually, it will show. » Fortunately for OM, everything will quickly return to order.
