While OM faces PSG this Sunday, Mason Greenwood was summoned despite its separate training with young people this week. A logical decision for Roberto de Zerbi, who sanctions without excluding: the transferred striker of Manchester United remains a tactical asset if necessary. Despite its disappointing performances since the start of the new calendar year, its technical potential and its ability to create the imbalance justify its presence.
Greenwood selected: a sanction … but no exclusion
Temporary relegation alongside young people was a warning, not a definitive dismissal. The Marseille staff hopes that this pressure will revive English, which could be useful at the end of the meeting in the face of a Parisian defense experienced by a busy calendar.
Højbjerg absent, Rabiot in sight
OM will have to compose without Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, injured in the calf. On the other hand, Adrien Rabiot, former PSG, will be present. His return to the Parc des Princes promises to be electric, Parisian supporters reserving a hostile welcome. But the French, ovationed by the Marseille ultras in training, today embodies the combative soul of OM.
De Zerbi plays balance
With the return of defender Derek Cornelius and the presence of Amine Gouiri, Zerbi puts on a mixture of experience and youth. Greenwood’s summons is part of this logic: the Italian coach favors offensive options, even imperfect, to surprise PSG.
