Nicolas Nkoulou, the Cameroonian defender for Marseille, not only experienced a defeat in the Wednesday match against Arsenal in the Champions League but also sustained a sprained left thumb. The Cameroon international was seen leaving the Vélodrome stadium with a bandage on his injured finger. However, the club assures that he will be available for the upcoming Saturday match against Bastia, as they believe this injury will not jeopardize his participation in that game.
Despite the setback of losing to Arsenal at home in the opening match of the group stage of the Champions League, Marseille remains optimistic. The team recalls a similar scenario two years ago when they managed to qualify for the round of 16 despite an initial defeat in the competition.
