In the 32nd final match of the Coupe de France against Reims, Olympique de Marseille’s goalkeeper Brice Samba is expected to make his first start in an official match with the club. The decision to start Samba is influenced by the situation of Steve Mandanda, the team captain, who needs a break due to personal problems, according to coach José Anigo. Brice Samba, a 19-year-old goalkeeper, joined Marseille a year ago and has not played in an official match with the club until now. Rod Fanni, recovering from a muscle injury, is not at 100% physically, so Kassim Abdallah is likely to start on the right side of the defense.
