Neal Maupay's return from suspension should send Elye Wahi back to the bench during the match between Nantes and OM on Sunday evening in Ligue 1.
His goal scored on the Montpellier pitch clearly changed nothing. While he could have taken advantage of Neal Maupay's suspension to score points in the eyes of Roberto De Zerbi and reestablish himself permanently in the starting lineup, Elye Wahi should return to the sidelines against Nantes, Sunday evening at La Beaujoire, at the end of the 10th day of Ligue 1.
In any case, this is what is emerging from daily life
The Teamwhich does not include him in the typical team expected to start against the Canaries. In the absence of the former Everton striker, who collected a red card against Angers and therefore missed the two matches against MHSC and PSG, the former Lensois did not fully convince the Italian coach of OM.
Elye Wahi cropped after OM-PSG
If he found the fault in the first minute of play at La Mosson, during the card signed by OM (0-5), Elye Wahi was replaced at half-time against the Parisians, certainly not helped by the scenario of this Classic and the controversial expulsion of Amine Harit. And for this upcoming match against FCN, it is Neal Maupay who should be preferred at kick-off. A terrible blow.
Should we see this as a sanction from Roberto De Zerbi? Possible because after OM-PSG, the Ciel et Blanc coach reclassified three players, Mason Greenwood, Luis Henrique and him. A trio of which the Englishman is the only survivor in the probable composition of Marseille. The Olympian staff may say that they believe in his potential, but Elye Wahi will therefore have to fight to become the starting center forward again.
The probable line-up of OM against Nantes (4-2-3-1): Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi (cap.), Kondogbia, Brassier – Hojbjerg, Rabiot – Greenwood, I. Koné, Rowe – Maupay.
