OM coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, will be able to count on a return to attack for the reception of the Racing club of Lens.
Jean-Louis Gasset does it with the means he has. And the return of Ismaïla Sarr should somewhat comfort the OM coach whose squad is not spared by absences of all kinds. “ He worked well and resumed training with the group this morning (Friday), so it is operational », declared the Provencal technician, Friday at a press conference held 48 hours before the reception of the Racing club of Lens.
The Senegalese winger will replace the suspended Faris Moumbagna, but he will be spared. “ We try to limit his playing time to gradually reintegrate him », Specified Gasset, cited by The Phocaean. He also gave news of Quentin Merlin, who was injured in the left ankle a fortnight ago. The full-back has resumed jogging and is expected to do so next week.
A hope for Europe, really?
The return of Ismaïla Sarr is not a guarantee to overcome the Lensois, Sunday evening as part of the 31st day of Ligue 1, but he nevertheless maintains a certain depth of bench, with for example his compatriot Iliman N’ Diaye. To hope to finish the Championship in a European place, OM have a vital need for victories, especially after missing the opportunity against Nice in the middle of the week (2-2).
“ We will field the best possible team against Lens. We have a championship match to play, and although we regret not having taken the three points against Nice, certain factors of the game went against us. We are five points behind Lens, who we play on Sunday. So, our goal in the ranking is to finish in European position“, commented Jean-Louis Gasset.
