Algerian midfielder Ismaël Bennacer returns to Marseille squad for Reims clash

Olympique de Marseille have been boosted by the return of Algerian international Ismaël Bennacer, who has been named in the squad for Saturday’s crucial Ligue 1 fixture against Reims.

Bennacer, who had been sidelined for several matches due to injury, is now fit to rejoin the team.

His presence in midfield could provide a significant advantage for coach Roberto De Zerbi as Marseille look to secure a vital result.

In addition to Bennacer, Amir Murillo is also back in the squad, offering further depth to the team.

However, the Olympians will still be without key players Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Amine Harit, who remain unavailable. Despite these absences, Marseille travel to Reims with a strengthened squad.

Marseille’s Squad for Reims Fixture:

Goalkeepers: De Lange, Rulli, Van Neck

Defenders: Balerdi, Cornelius, Dedic, Garcia, Lirola, Merlin, Murillo

Midfielders: Bakola, Bennacer, Kondogbia, Nadir, Rabiot, Rongier

Forwards: Abdallah, Gouiri, Greenwood, Henrique, Maupay, Rowe
