Ismaila Sarr eyes return for Marseille against Lille amid injury woes
Amidst a string of setbacks for Olympique de Marseille, a ray of hope is on the horizon as reports suggest that Ismaila Sarr may make his return to the squad against Lille next weekend.
The international break proved to be a testing period for Marseille, with several key players returning from FIFA Days nursing injuries.
Among them is Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr, who arrived back earlier than anticipated from international duty with the Teranga Lions, having faced Gabon and Benin.
However, there is optimism that Sarr’s spell on the sidelines may be shorter than initially feared.
Sarr’s absence was keenly felt in Marseille’s recent fixture against PSG during the 27th day of Ligue 1, where his presence was sorely missed on the field.
Nevertheless, there are promising signs that he could be back in action sooner than expected, with reports indicating that he could feature in the upcoming clash against Lille.
The potential return of Sarr will come as welcome news for Marseille manager Jean Louis Gasset, who has been grappling with a spate of injuries within his squad.
Just yesterday, the team suffered another blow as Chancel Mbemba was forced off the field with an injury, adding to Gasset’s selection woes.
As Marseille braces for the critical encounter against Lille next Friday, the inclusion of Sarr in the squad could provide a much-needed boost to the team’s morale and firepower.
With his speed, skill, and attacking prowess, Sarr has proven to be a formidable asset for Marseille, and his return could prove instrumental in their quest for victory.
While the final decision on Sarr’s inclusion will depend on his fitness and recovery in the coming days, Marseille fans will be eagerly anticipating his potential comeback as the team looks to navigate through a challenging period and reignite their campaign in Ligue 1.
