Ligue 1 – Matchday 16: Marseille Without André Ayew for Trip to Lorient
Olympique de Marseille, current leaders of Ligue 1, will travel to Lorient this Tuesday for the opening match of the 16th round. Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. (French time). However, André Ayew will miss the family showdown against his younger brother Jordan Ayew, who plays for Lorient.
🚑 Injury Blow for Marseille
Coach Marcelo Bielsa will have to cope without:
-
🇬🇭 André Ayew – sidelined due to injury.
-
🇫🇷 Romain Alessandrini – also ruled out.
Both midfielders have officially withdrawn from the squad after failing to recover in time for the fixture.
This means Marseille will be slightly weakened in the midfield zone for a tricky away game, while Jordan Ayew will be looking to make an impression against his former club—without the sibling rivalry this time.
