De Zerbi defends Benatia

Adrien Rabiot joined collective training at OM this week and we will perhaps know this Friday afternoon, at a press conference, if the former Juve player can apply for the Marseille group which is traveling to Strasbourg Sunday. Note the absences of Bamo Meïté and Valentin Rongier from training.

If Rongier were to not be available in Alsace, and Kondogbia was once again forced to slip in defense, with the suspension of Balerdi and the injury of Merlin, this could be another argument for summoning the French international to Strasbourg.

At a slow pace at the start of the session, Rabiot nevertheless seemed to have the legs and to be totally comfortable with and without the ball, under the bright sun, in Marseille.
