Marseille FC faces a tough challenge as they prepare for their crucial match against Angers. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has announced a squad of 21 players for the Wednesday night showdown, but the team will be without several key players due to various reasons.
Key Absences for Marseille
The list of absentees includes some prominent names, impacting Marseille's lineup significantly. Leonardo Balerdi, Timothy Weah, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Hamed Junior Traoré, Amine Gouiri, and Facundo Medina will all be unavailable for selection. The absence of these players presents a considerable challenge for De Zerbi as he looks to secure a positive result against Angers.
Egan-Riley to Start, Aubameyang Leads the Line
In a surprising move, English defender CJ Egan-Riley has been chosen to start ahead of Benjamin Pavard for this important match. This decision highlights De Zerbi's tactical approach and his confidence in Egan-Riley's abilities. Furthermore, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will lead the attack, adding firepower and experience to the Marseille frontline.
The match against Angers is a crucial one for Marseille, and despite the challenges posed by the player absences, the team will be determined to put on a strong performance. Fans will be eager to see how De Zerbi's tactical decisions play out and whether Aubameyang can make a significant impact in the attacking third.
