Timothy Weah returns to Marseille training as Roberto De Zerbi gives injury update | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille don’t have long to pick themselves up following defeat to Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Les Phocéens already switch their attention to facing Stade Brestois at the Stade Vélodrome on Saturday afternoon, and Roberto De Zerbi will be encouraged by the return of Timothy Weah to training and in the pre-match press conference attended by Get French Football News. “I’m good physically and I hope to be in the squad tomorrow,” said the USA international on Friday afternoon to the press. “There are lots of things that are going on at the moment, with injuries to players that are very important to the team – so it\s difficult to play a match every three days.”“I have several meetings every day. I’ve just come out of one with Medhi Benatia and the medical team. Today, we can’t work too hard because we’ve just come off the match against Atalanta,” said Roberto De Zerbi during his pre-match press conference. “Emerson is expected to make his return, while Timothy Weah will be assessed. Leonardo Balerdi won’t be there, and Geoffrey Kondogbia could be on the bench with reduced playing time, Maupay may be on the bench.”“We are not out of this injury situation yet. From next week, injured players will return to the squad: Balerdi, maybe Medina, Kopndgbia will be 100%.”GFFN | George Boxall – reporting from La Commanderie, Marseille
