After OM's defeat against AJA, the question of a probable return of Chancel Mbemba is inevitably raised. For Lionel Charbonnier, he is no worse than those on the pitch.
In defense, OM lost control against AJ Auxerre and were surprised more than once. After this defeat with a score of 3-1, the question of a return of Chancel Mbemba returns to the table. Sidelined by the club for non-sporting reasons, the Congolese would not be “worse than the others who are there” according to former French international Lionel Charbonnier.

The Mbemba case raises even more questions…
During the press conference before the match against Nantes, a journalist asked Roberto De Zerbi about the possibility of reinstating Mbemba in the team. The Italian coach said his return was not planned. “Perhaps, but we made a decision with management, we made our choices and we will not go back on that”said De Zerbi. As a reminder, Chancel Mbemba was pushed out this summer, the latter did not want to hear about transfer compensation. Sidelined with the reserves until September, he was recently reintegrated into the professional group after the international break.
The situation of Chancel Mbemba
This defeat against PSG highlights the weaknesses of OM's defense, which has been criticized for its lack of solidity. The absence of a leader like Mbemba could be felt in the matches to come. The Olympians will therefore have to find solutions to strengthen their defense and avoid further disappointments.
Conclusion
As OM prepares for their upcoming matches, tactical choices and adjustments within the team will be crucial. The question of Mbemba's return continues to fuel discussions, even if the matter is decided internally. Supporters are hoping for a quick reaction from their team to get things back on track.
