Keyliane Abdallah ‘to start’ in Marseille predicted XI v Besiktas | OneFootball

Bruno Genesio says he will hand opportunities to some of Marseille’s fringe players when they open their UEFA Europa League campaign at Besiktas on Thursday night. It would mark their first rotation of the season.

L’Équipe understands Ulisses Garcia will come in at left-back for Emerson, and Nayef Aguerd may make way for Derek Cornelius in Türkiye.

Angel Gomes could drop out of the starting line-up, which may move Amine Harit into a central role and open the right flank for Keyliane Abdallah.

The likely XI is: Jeffrey De Lange in goal, a back four of Ulisses Garcia, Derek Cornelius, CJ Egan-Riley and Timothy Weah, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg with Himad Abdelli in midfield, then Igor Paixao, Amine Harit and Keyliane Abdallah behind Amine Gouiri.

Geoffrey Kondogbia and Tochukwu Nnadi remain sidelined and appear unlikely to feature before the international break, trimming Genesio’s options for this opener.
