Moroccan international Amine Harit became the latest concern for the team. However, Coach Jean-Louis Gasset has provided some initial relief by suggesting that the injury might not be as severe as feared.
OM faced an uphill battle against Nice at the Orange Vélodrome, with the absence of key players like Chancel Mbemba posing a significant challenge.
The match took a further turn for the worse when Faris Moumbagna received a red card in the second half, leaving Marseille with a numerical disadvantage.
Amidst these challenges, Amine Harit’s injury added to the team’s woes.
Harit, the Moroccan attacking midfielder, was forced off the pitch around the hour mark after sustaining an ankle injury during the late stages of the game against Nice.
Concerns immediately arose regarding the extent of his injury, particularly given Marseille’s already lengthy list of injured players.
However, providing a glimmer of hope to Marseille fans, Coach Jean-Louis Gasset offered some reassurance during a press conference following the match.
Despite the setback, Gasset suggested that Harit’s injury might not be severe and that he could potentially be available for selection in the upcoming fixture against Lens.
“He received a blow to the ankle but it’s nothing serious,” Gasset stated, alleviating some of the immediate concerns surrounding Harit’s injury.
The news will come as a relief to Marseille supporters, who have endured a challenging season marked by injuries to key players.
As Marseille prepares for the crucial fixture against Lens, the potential availability of Amine Harit could provide a significant boost to the team’s morale and prospects.
However, further assessments will be required to determine the full extent of Harit’s injury and his readiness for the upcoming match.
