Le Havre vs Marseille Team News
Le Havre vs Marseille Team News sees both sides grappling with injuries and suspensions. For the hosts, Didier Digard has a depleted squad with several key players sidelined. Goalkeeper Mathieu Gorgelin is expected to start behind a back four of Loic Nego, É. Youte Kinkoue, Arouna Sangante, and Fode Ballo-Toure. Abdoulaye Toure is likely to anchor the midfield, while Junior Mwanga, Josué Casimir, Yassine Kechta, and Issa Soumaré will provide support for Ahmed Hassan up front. However, the absences of Lloris, Joujou, Housni, Kitala, Logbo, and Kouka will be significant blows for Le Havre.
For Marseille, Roberto De Zerbi will be missing Ruben Blanco and Mbemba due to injuries. Gerónimo Rulli will start in goal, with a back four consisting of Michael Amir Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Geoffrey Kondogbia, and Ulisses Garcia. Ismaël Bennacer and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will form a double pivot, while Mason Greenwood, Adrien Rabiot, and Luiz Henrique will operate behind striker Amine Gouiri. Despite their injury concerns, Marseille have a relatively strong squad available and will be aiming to continue their push for a Champions League spot.
