Olympique de Marseille travels to Nantes this Sunday for the tenth day of Ligue 1 season 2024/2025. Which eleven will Roberto De Zerbi propose against the canaries?
The OM season must restart this Sunday after last Sunday's rout against PSG (0-3). With the defeat of Monaco and the draw of Lille, OM can, in the event of victory, take second place in the championship alone and therefore achieve a very good operation. The Italian coach will have to do without carbon (knee) and can however count on Merlin whose return he announced this Friday at a press conference.

Roll will start in goal in front of a defense which should be made up of Balerdi and of Kondogbia which should be renewed in the axis. Murillo should be aligned right and left brassiere should retain its place in the absence of Garcia. Hojbjerg should also occupy his role of sentinel in the middle in the company of Rabiot for his third tenure in a row. Hari should maintain his role as leader in the axis. Greenwood will be aligned to the right, i.e. Luis Henrique either Rowe will be left aligned. Place should be established at the forefront of the attack.

Roberto DeZerbi was present this Friday at the RLD center for the traditional pre-match press conference. He was asked about this match against Nantes: “ Maybe there will be a change in the players but not in the game. When we have more of the ball, we create more situations, we are more dangerous and for me, success will come through that. Maybe Merlin can get minutes, we'll see with the medical team, but he's a player who weighs on the pitch and in the locker room. It is the one of the four defenders who can go the highest and the absence of Garcia will also be lacking at this level. Lilian Brassier had played on the left but he does not have this vocation. »
