The Marseille club communicated the list of players called upon to compete in the group stage of the Champions League. There is no shortage of disappointed.
They hoped to play the Champions League with OM this season. The disappointment is hard to collect after the choices of Roberto de Zerbi. The coach of the Marseille team communicated the list of players called to compete in the League group stage on Wednesday.
Among the five Olympians left on the sidelines, Amine Harit continues to undergo the decisions of her coach.

The 12 recruits at the rendezvous
After Dimitri Payet's departure in the summer of 2023, Amine Harit seemed to be the only player who is technically capable of assuming the role of playmaker, among other things, by her ability to play in traffic and break the lines.

The Italian technician also decided not to remember Ruben Blanco, Neal Masake, Pol Lirola et ulisses Garcia. On the other hand, the 12 summer recruits are registered, as is the promising young attacking Robinio Vaz (18 years old), scorer against the PFC (2nd day of Ligue 1).
