After the convincing victory of the Olympique de Marseille against Lorient (4-0) on Friday night at the Vélodrome, coach Roberto De Zerbi reported a mixed medical situation regarding some of his players, as the crucial match of the Champions League in Madrid approached. The main concern is Amine Gouiri, who had to leave the field after a violent collision in the first half. De Zerbi pointed out that Gouiri suffers from a shoulder injury and that his participation in Tuesday’s displacement remains uncertain. This uncertainty represents a major challenge for OM, which relies on its new recruits to challenge Real Madrid.

However, De Zerbi brought more reassuring news about two other players. He said that Amine Harit and Bafétimbi Diagne are healthy and that they just suffered cramps during the game. Therefore, they should be available for the game against Real Madrid. OM’s medical staff is actively working to assess the extent of Gouiri’s injury and determine whether he can play in Madrid.

Gouiri’s potential absence would be a hard blow for OM, given its important role in attacking the team and the hope placed in it to help surprise the Madrid giant. The team is already counting on its new recruits to impact the game. The outcome of these exams will be decisive to determine whether the Algerian striker can participate in this long-awaited Champions League match.
