Marseille predicted XI v Monaco: Quinten Timber expected to start, Igor Paixao out injured | OneFootball

Quinten Timber is expected to start for Marseille at rivals AS Monaco on Sunday night despite strong links to Crystal Palace. Bruno Genesio is short of options.

The head coach may opt for four midfielders and two forwards, with left wing cover thin because Igor Paixao is absent. Genesio has said Paixao’s omission today is due to injury, although the Brazilian has been strongly linked with Sunderland.

Leonardo Balerdi, set for a move to AS Roma, is also out. He was pictured in the Italian capital on Saturday and is set for a medical.

Marseille’s likely line-up at Monaco is Jeffrey De Lange in goal, a back four of Emerson, Nayef Aguerd, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Timothy Weah.
