Olympique de Marseille is aiming for its third victory in the Ligue 1 championship as they face a challenging away trip to Valenciennes on Saturday. However, the North has historically been a problematic region for Marseille.
Saber Khalifa, the Tunisian international and recent recruit for OM, may not be part of the traveling squad for this match. Despite being presented to the press last week, Khalifa is still in a “preparation” phase, and coach Eli Baup is undecided about including him in the squad for the trip to the Hainaut stadium. During a press conference on Thursday, Baup stated, “Saber is coming back. We must think. I don’t have an opinion yet on when he will join the group.”
