Marseille dealt Pierre-Emile Højbjerg blow ahead of Coupe de France quarter-final

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg will miss Olympique de Marseille’s Coupe de France quarter-final against Toulouse after picking up his fifth booking of the season, reports La Provence.

The Danish international was cautioned during OM’s 2-0 defeat away to Brest on Friday night, a result that compounded a difficult spell for the club. Wearing the captain’s armband in Finistère, Højbjerg’s yellow card triggered an automatic suspension, ruling him out of the meeting with Toulouse FC on March 4 at the Stade Vélodrome.
