Marseille predicted XI v Angers: Leonardo Balerdi joins injury list | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille will be without club captain Leonardo Balerdi when they face SCO Angers on Wednesday night. 

Roberto De Zerbi addressed the Argentine’s injury before the match against Angers. The Italian said that he had a small calf injury before the game against RC Lens and so no risks will be taken. He confirmed that Balerdi will not make the matchday squad. 

He joins compatriot and fellow defender Facundo Medina on the sidelines. Geoffrey Kondogbia, Timothy Weah, Hamed Junior Traoré, and Amine Gouiri are all also out for Les Phocéens. Robinio Vaz is set to be dropped, having been ineffective against Lens; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will lead the line for OM in his place. CJ Egan-Riley could start over France international Benjamin Pavard in defence.
