Marseille vs Nice: Unexpected Returns Light Up the Ligue 1 Clash
Marseille vs Nice: Key Players Make Surprise Comebacks
Olympique de Marseille has revealed their squad for the upcoming match against OGC Nice, scheduled for Saturday at 5 PM. In a surprising twist, Leonardo Balerdi, who was thought to be out for longer, is back in the lineup along with Ismaël Koné, who has been sidelined due to injury since the start of the season.
Elye Wahi and Valentin Carboni remain uncertainties but are also expected to be available. The notable absence for the Olympic side is Quentin Merlin, who sustained an injury during the international break with the French U21 team. Although he is not ready just yet, a return appears imminent.
Young Talent Featured in the Squad
Roberto De Zerbi, coach of the team, has given Darryl Bakola his first call-up of the season, coinciding with Bakola signing his first professional contract with OM. Additionally, Enzo Sternal and Keyliane Abdallah have made the cut for this anticipated derby in the South of France.
