After the 16th day of Ligue 1, which concludes on Thursday with the OL-Toulouse match, the 17th day kicks off on Friday with Olympique de Marseille facing FC Nantes. Following their recent loss to Lille (1-0), Marseille aims to bounce back at the Vélodrome. André Ayew is unavailable due to meniscus surgery until the end of January, while Dimitri Payet is uncertain for the upcoming match after sustaining a left calf injury against LOSC. Payet expressed hope for recovery but indicated that the final decision on his participation would be made on Friday.
