Ultimately, Geoffrey Kondogbia is not doing too badly. The OM midfielder provides the interim central defense requested by Roberto de Zerbi more or less correctly. Sunday evening against Le Havre (16th day of Ligue 1), the Italian coach should do without Kondogbia, victim of a left calf injury.
So who to support Leonardo Balerdi as a hinge? Lilian Brassier and Derek Cornelius are likely to apply. But their coach is not satisfied with it. De Zerbi and OM would have targeted two central defenders during the transfer window, as an admission of failure in the recruitment of former players, respectively, from Stade de Brest and Malmö.
Bamo Meïté ignored
Bamo Meïté also does not have the total confidence of Roberto de Zerbi, as evidenced by the last eight Ligue 1 matches spent on the bench with no entry into play. OM, only second in the standings in the event of a victory against HAC, must also do without Faris Moumbagna, Valentin Carboni and Pol Lirola, all injured.
