Marseille predicted XI v Lens: Valentin Rongier replaces injured Amir Murillo | OneFootball

Tonight, Olympique de Marseille will look to maintain their grip on second place as they host RC Lens at the Stade Vélodrome. OGC Nice have been slowly creeping up the table and Roberto De Zerbi’s men will be keen to create some breathing space before Le Gym play tomorrow.

The only change from last weekend’s 2-0 victory over FC Nantes will likely be Amir Murillo. The right-sided defender who signed a new contract with Les Phocéens yesterday picked up a hamstring strain during his last outing. De Zerbi will probably turn to former captain Valentin Rongier over Pol Lirola or Luiz Felipe.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg picked up a slight injury during the week and was reported to be absent from training on Friday. However, the midfielder is expected to hold down his place in the team for this match.
