Mario Lemina is adapting to his new role at Olympique de Marseille (OM) and might be given the opportunity to start as a right-back in the upcoming match against Stade Rennais. The withdrawal of Rod Fanni could open up this opportunity for the young defensive midfielder.
In his interview with La Provence, Lemina reveals that he played as a right-back during the entire training session on Wednesday but mentioned that he doesn’t have much communication with coach Baup about his role. This uncertainty about his position might be a challenge for Lemina, and he seems curious about the coach’s plans for him.
Despite the risk he took by signing with Marseille and the tough competition for playing time, Lemina is gradually making appearances for the team. He has participated in three matches across all competitions so far.
It will be interesting to see how Lemina performs if given the chance to play as a right-back against Stade Rennais, and how his role within the team evolves under coach Baup.
