Gianelli Imbula and Mario Lemina, along with Brice Samba, Brice Dja Djédjé, and Benjamin Mendy, are facing a challenging period at Marseille. Due to lack of playing time and being relegated to the bench, they have been sent to CFA2, a lower division team.
This decision reflects their struggle to secure regular spots in the first team despite their talent. Gianelli Imbula, 21, has managed 22 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, scoring one goal. Mario Lemina has featured in 14 matches for Marseille during the same period.
This move to the lower division presents an opportunity for these players to gain more playing time and potentially regain their form and confidence on the pitch.
