Olympique de Marseille and AJ Auxerre face each other this Friday for the 11th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Marseille club.
Less than a week after its victory in Nantes (2-1), theMarseille Olympic returns to the Vélodrome for the reception of AJ Auxerre, this Friday (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). A meeting that the Marseille club is approaching without its defender Derek Cornelius, who has joined Faris Moumbagna, Ruben Blanco, Valentin Carboni and Bilal Nadir in the infirmary. Amine Harit is uncertain.
But it is at the forefront of the attack that Roberto De Zerbi will still have to make a strong choice. While Neal Maupay found the net in Nantes (2-1), Elye Wahi remains in the pipeline.
“Neal Maupay is a player who feels very good at the moment, but there is absolutely no competition with Elye Wahi. They have a different age, experience, background. Maupay is older (28 years old compared to 21), he is in good shape, he has performed well. But I have no doubts about Wahi, who had a very good match in Montpellier (5-0, October 20). »
De Zerbi's dilemma
Will De Zerbi relaunch Wahi? He makes you believe it. “ My hierarchy remains the same. But my duty is to make the choices before the match. You judge after the meeting, it's a little simpler! Tell me who you prefer to start before the meetings, you'll see, it's not always easy! »
In addition to this big question, OM should rely on its strengths for this meeting. Greenwood, Höjbjerg, Rabiot and the irremovable Rulli are expected at kick-off.
The expected lineup for OM : Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi, Brassier, Merlin – Rabiot, Højbjerg, Koné – Greenwood, Maupay, Rowe.
