There may have been a managerial change at Olympique de Marseille this week, however, Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri is expected to once again start from the bench when Habib Beye takes charge for the first time, against Stade Brestois on Friday night.
Beye has almost a full squad to pick from, with Leonardo Balerdi, the club, captain, the only absentee, due to suspension. It leaves the former Stade Rennais with plenty of choices to make. In the No.10 role, it is Bilal Nadir who is expected to start for Marseille, with Nwaneri only good enough for the bench.
There is also a decision to be made up front, and it is expected to be Amine Gouiri who leads the line, instead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
