Ligue 1 live: OM quite optimistic for his injured players

Despite a spate of injuries last week, before or during the games against Feyenoord and Lorient, OM will be hoping to regain much of their vital strength for Saturday’s clash in Rennes.

Concerning Bamba Dieng (cuisse), Gerson (cheville) et Duje Caleta-Car (gêne musculaire), all three contraints of yielding leur en pleine rencontre au Moustoir, the club évoque des “blessures modérées” que devraient se guérir quickly avec des soins this week. Arkadiusz Milik (thigh) and Amine Harit (foot), bulky against Lorient, should apply to play this Saturday at Roazhon Park, as indicated by Sampaoli after the victory in Lorient.

The Bakambu case, however, is more worrying. The Marseille striker gave up his place in the first half against Hakes after touching his lower thigh and the Congolese will have to undergo additional tests. He is uncertain for the next game at least. As a reminder, Dimitri Payet, Leonardo Balerdi and Konrad de La Fuente are already missing until the end of the season.

More generally, all bodies are tired from the repeated efforts and sequence of matches. The backlash from European elimination against Feyenoord Rotterdam didn’t help either. But, in the locker room, it is said that the mentality of the troops remains very strong and that the victory in Lorient has boosted the team even more. Olympians don’t want to let go of their second place because they think they deserve it in view of their season. They rest on Tuesday after training and treatment on Monday morning, before resuming scheduled for Wednesday.

The PSG players will train this Thursday at the Parc des Princes. Fabio Quartararo and Colin Kaepernick will be present, with an invited audience for the occasion

Coincidence (or not?), Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is also present in the Spanish capital this Monday, at the same time as Kylian Mbappé. According to our information, he made the trip as part of his duties at the ECA, the Association of European Clubs, of which he is president.

Predicted by the Spanish press, Kylian Mbappé is in Madrid this Monday, accompanied by several Paris Saint-Germain players. They had lunch at Leña Madrid at the Hyatt Regency.

The presence of other PSG players still calls into question a visit by the striker to negotiate with Real Madrid. The players of the capital club, who have two days off, will resume training this Wednesday.

ASSE, which was subject to a match suspension behind closed doors, had this suspension lifted after the match against Monaco. This match on April 23 was the occasion of the Green Angels 30th anniversary and the south kop supporters celebrated with many smoke bombs and other fireworks. AS Saint-Etienne, which contests the lifting of this session behind closed doors and the collective aspect of the sanction, appealed to the French National Olympic and Sports Committee. The ASSE is received in good form by the CNOSF and will have to convince on the merits to aspire to be able to count on its fans on Saturday against Reims in a decisive match for maintenance.
