To visit OL, Sunday evening at the end of the 3rd day of Ligue 1, OM must still deal without two of its recruits. And that poses some difficulties.
What to think of OM after two days of Ligue 1? A mixed beginning is to say the least. Beaten in Rennes (1-0) at the opening of the season despite a numerical superiority of more than an hour, the Marseille footballers got back to the place by beating Paris Football Club last weekend at the Vélodrome stadium (5-2-2nd d.).
The victory against Parisian promoted did not mask a few big shortcomings, such as being joined at 2-2 (58th) after having led 2-0 (24th). The problems of the defensive sector have not yet been resolved and Facundo Medina could have filled a few holes if he had been able to play. But it is not operational.
The Argentinian central defender, who arrived in Lens this summer, continues to treat an injury to an ankle contracted in training. His return is envisaged after the international break in September on the occasion of the weekend of 13 and 14. In the meantime, the Englishman Conrad Jaden Egan-Riley composes the hinge with Captain Argentin Leonardo Balerdi.
Passion, li flou
No Facundo Medina, therefore, facing OL this Sunday evening at the end of the 3rd championship lifting, like another new player in the workforce: Igor Paixao. Coach Roberto de Zerbi cannot count on the former winger of Feyenoord Rotterdam.
The 25 -year -old Brazilian player was also touched in training (muscle injury), mid July with the Dutch club. He is supposed to occupy the left flank of OM, after the hectic departure of Jonathan Rowe, after the case of the fight with Adrien Rabiot. Its beginnings are hoped for in September.
