Luiz Felipe could make his debut in the OM jersey this Sunday (8:45 p.m.) against RC Strasbourg. In any case, that’s what the player would hope for.
This winter, OM offered the services of Luiz Felipe. After a year and a half spent in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ittihad, the Italian central defender was released by the Saudi club and signed freely, on January 7, with the Provençal club.
But given that he has not played for five months, his last match with Al-Ittihad dating back to August 24, the former Lazio Rome and Real Betis player was not ready to play straight away with OM. He was not called up last weekend for the trip to Rennes (1-2) and will not play this Tuesday (9:10 p.m.) in the Coupe de France against LOSC either.
Luiz Felipe hopes to be ready against Strasbourg
But Luiz Felipe would like to play OM's next Ligue 1 match, or at least already be part of the group. Indeed, according to La Provence, the new Olympian would hope to be ready and appear in the Marseille group for the reception this Sunday (8:45 p.m.) of RC Strasbourg, in the closing match of the 18th day of the championship. Now let's see Roberto De Zerbi's decision regarding the debut of his new player.
