Olympique de Marseille and the French Football Federation have confirmed a new injury to Quentin Merlin. The Marseille full-back will miss the next Bleuets meeting.
No Quentin Merlin with the France Espoirs team. The French Football Federation announced in a press release that the Olympique de Marseille full-back has withdrawn from the Bleuets. OM announces an injury following the match lost against AJ Auxerre on Friday evening in Ligue 1 (1-3).
What is the nature of this physical glitch? We have no information on this at this time. We recall that he had withdrawn from his club for more than a month following a controversial injury with the Espoirs selection in September. Is it therefore a decision by management to protect their player from any risk of injury? Possible too, the future will tell us.
Marseille will have to face big challenges in the recovery. After the international break, OM will have a series of crucial matches, with a trip to RC Lens, followed by receptions against AS Monaco and LOSC. Between these two home matches, AS Saint-Étienne will welcome the Marseille club to its Chaudron.
The blow is all the more unwelcome as the surprise defeat against AJ Auxerre plunges the team somewhat into a crisis of confidence.
