OM faces crisis as De Zerbi loses Murillo and Marseille enters emergency mode
Marseille’s head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, faces a significant challenge as the team continues to struggle. The loss of Amir Murillo, a key player, adds further complications. Murillo has returned from international duty with a thigh injury.
Injury Crisis at Marseille
The news of Murillo’s injury comes at a critical time. He has been a pivotal part of Marseille’s lineup, contributing two goals, one assist, and starting in nine out of twelve matches. His absence will be felt deeply.
- Murillo’s injury occurred while playing for Panama.
- He is ruled out for the upcoming match against Nice.
- Marseille also faces a crucial Champions League clash against Newcastle.
Upcoming Matches and Implications
Marseille currently sits with only three points after four Champions League matches. They desperately need a victory against Newcastle at the Vélodrome to improve their chances of qualification.
Moreover, several other players are sidelined, putting extra pressure on De Zerbi:
- Nayef Aguerd is recovering from pubalgia.
- Romain Gouiri is out due to a shoulder injury.
- Hamed Junior Traoré has not yet overcome his thigh strain.
With this string of injuries, Marseille’s tactical options are limited. De Zerbi must now find creative solutions to maintain competitiveness in both domestic and international matches.
