Himad Abdelli settling at Marseille, unlikely to start Le Classique against PSG

Himad Abdelli, signed late in the winter window, is easing into life at Marseille and appears unlikely to start Le Classique against PSG on Sunday.

On Friday morning at La Commanderie, part of the squad continued treatment. Roberto De Zerbi said those with him focused on recovery after heavy workloads over the previous two days.

Among them was Abdelli, who worked alongside Algeria team-mate Amine Gouiri as he builds rhythm.

The midfielder has not played since 10 January, when Algeria lost 0-2 to Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final.

He will quickly add a personal touch to a Marseille midfield that has been reshaped this winter.
