In the upcoming clash between Saint-Etienne and Marseille, both teams are vying for European spots, with Marseille particularly eager to avoid a defeat that would distance them from their rivals. Marseille, trailing Saint-Etienne by two points, cannot afford to lose ground in the race for European qualification.
Despite the significance of the match, Marseille will be without the services of Rod Fanni, who is suspended for the encounter. However, there is good news for Marseille as Jérémy Morel, who hails from Reunion, has returned to training and is available for selection. Additionally, coach José Anigo confirmed that goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, although nursing minor physical issues, will be present for the match.
With these developments, Marseille aims to put forth a strong performance at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium and maintain their position in the Ligue 1 standings.
