Marseille predicted XI v Strasbourg: Amine Harit and Angel Gomes ‘to start’ for Bruno Génésio | OneFootball

Bruno Génésio’s Olympique de Marseille tenure begins in earnest tonight with the Ligue 1 curtain-raiser against RC Strasbourg Alsace. A reworked squad is set to open the season, with Amine Harit and Angel Gomes in the projected XI.

According to L’Éq, Jeffrey de Lange starts in goal, behind Emerson Palmieri, Geoffrey Kondogbia, CJ Egan-Riley and Timothy Weah. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg partners Himad Abdelli in midfield, with Igor Paixão, Angel Gomes and Amine Harit supporting Amine Gouiri.

It has been a bruising summer for Les Phocéens, with finances prompting the usual churn of departures and far fewer arrivals than normal.

Harit and Gomes had appeared to be heading out, both loaned last season after failing to live up to expectations during Roberto De Zerbi’s time, yet they now feature in Génésio’s first selection.

Gerónimo Rulli’s move to Manchester City leaves de Lange as first-choice. He made five appearances last season, conceding 11 goals and recording one clean sheet.
