Bruno Genesio is without several key players as Olympique de Marseille prepare to face ESTAC Troyes on Sunday night. The international break wasn’t kind on the struggling side.
OM are entering a key phase of the season. Second from bottom of Ligue 1, they have an easier run of games and will look to use it to build confidence and put space between themselves and the relegation zone. However, Genesio must contend with several absences. Marseille are without captain Timothy Weah due to suspension, whilst Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Derek Corenlius are also out injured.
Amine Gouiri and Himad Abdelli had been doubts but both look set to start tonight. There could also be some inexperienced players fielded in the XI, including Keyliane Abdallah and Keylann Bezahaf.
