Olympique de Marseille welcomes RC Lens for the 31st day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Marseille club.
“ Against Lens, we will make the best team“. Jean-Louis Gasset quickly announced the color, at a press conference, when approaching this important match against Lens. Despite the proximity of the Europa League semi-final against Atalanta on Thursday, OM must not miss out against a direct competitor.
“ We regret not having taken three points against Nice, with unfavorable facts we will say. We will do the best possible against Lens, who are five points ahead, explained the OM coach. The last chance ? We can never say until it’s finalized but we would have liked to take six points this week. There are three left to take against Lens, to get within two points of them and finish this championship as best as possible. »
2 uncertainties in the middle and in attack
It remains to be seen with which eleven OM will present themselves. Mbemba is still in a worrying state, while Merlin is still fair. On the other hand, Clauss’ tenure is beyond doubt, while Sarr will also be back, perhaps not from kick-off. The identity of the third attacker alongside Aubameyang and Ndiaye leaves the suspense hanging, as does that of the third midfielder, where Harit and Ounahi are in the balance.
“ Sarr has resumed training with the group and is operationalspecified Jean-Louis Gasset. He will replace Faris, who is suspended one game. Jonathan (Clauss) could play 70 minutes against Nice, we must increase his playing time gradually. Quentin (Merlin) has resumed jogging and will resume the supports tomorrow morning. It will be operational Monday or Tuesday. For Chancel (Mbemba), it’s more complicated, it’s a meniscus that moves in the knee and depending on how it moves, it gets blocked. He did infiltrations, things are a little better but we are on permanent alert, it could come back. »
The expected lineup for OM : Lopez – Clauss, Gigot, Balerdi, Garcia – Veretout, Kondogbia, Ounahi – Ndiaye, Aubameyang, Luis Henrique
