Olympique de Marseille are gearing up to return to winning ways following the recent international break. Before the pause in club football, Les Olympiens experienced frustration in their last outing, settling for a 1-1 draw against Angers, a match that saw both teams reduced to ten men.
Reports from Get French Football News indicate that OM head coach Roberto De Zerbi is expected to implement four changes to the side that faced Angers. Derek Cornelius is set to be replaced in defence, with Geoffrey Kondogbia shifting into a deeper defensive role to bolster the backline.
In midfield, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg will retain his position, while Adrien Rabiot and Amine Harit are set to return to the starting XI. Valentin Carboni is ruled out due to an ACL injury, and Luis Henrique will start the match on the bench. Neal Maupay remains unavailable after his red card in the match against Angers, leading to Elye Wahi stepping in as his replacement.
In an exciting development for Norwich City FC fans, Jonathan Rowe could earn a spot in the starting lineup after his impressive goal-scoring performance in recent fixtures, partnering with Mason Greenwood in attack. The expected starting lineup for Marseille includes:
Gernimo Rulli; Amir Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Ulisses Garcia; Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Adrien Rabiot, Amine Harit; Mason Greenwood, Elye Wahi, Jonathan Rowe.
Norwich City FC supporters will be closely watching as their own talents look to shine in this matchday.
