Young OM midfielder Yanis Sellami (17) seriously injured his knee during the commando training planned by Roberto De Zerbi. He will be gone for five months.
After the victory in Lens (3-1), last Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi wanted to bring his troops together for a three-day training course, just to best prepare for this Sunday's summit match against AS Monaco. The idea was to strengthen the group spirit and the cohesion of the Phocaeans as the team goes through a very important month for the rest of its season. Indeed, after Lens, there is Monaco this evening, Saint-Etienne next week and LOSC in two weeks. That is to say three contenders for the Champions League and a historic rival, its closest pursuer (Lille) and the team which is ahead of them in the standings. We will only know this evening, around 11 p.m., if this training was beneficial. But we already know that there was damage…
Sellami out until April
Indeed, La Provence explains that the young Yanis Sellami was the victim of a sprained ankle with torn ligament. He will be operated on in the coming days and will be absent until at least April 2025. A promise from the training center, Sellami has already trained several times with the professional group but he has the misfortune of playing in midfield, which counts big names at OM like Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Adrien Rabiot, Valentin Rongier and Ismaël Koné, not to mention Bilal Nadir, who returned to the field at Bollaert after a absence of ten months.
