Nantes predicted XI vs Marseille: Youngster Louis Leroux retains spot, Francis Coquelin on the bench | OneFootball

FC Nantes did well to earn a 3-1 win over Lens last weekend after suffering a demoralising 7-1 defeat to AS Monaco only a week earlier, but Les Canaris once again face tough opposition in an Olympique de Marseille that are looking to get back to winning ways following their defeat to Auxerre last weekend. Nantes will have to deal with the absences of Nathan Zeze, Nicolas Cozza, Adel Mahamoud and Tino Kadewere for their trip to the Provence region.Youngster Louis Leroux scored on his first start at Stade de la Beaujoire last weekend. The 19-year-old impressed both his manager and supporters alike with his positive run-out for the side, and opened the scoring with his first-ever goal for the club. Nothing is stopping Kombouaré from handing a sustained run in the side for the midfielder. Apart from that it should be the classic 4-3-3 for Les Canaris. Whilst Francis Coquelin came on and provided an assist against Lens last weekend in his first appearance in Ligue 1 for over 13 years, the feeling is that the Frenchman may not be ready to start against Les Olympiens this Sunday at the Vélodrome. Matthis Abline should be leading the line once more for Nantes, with Moses Simon coming into the game after a great performance and goal last weekend. Probable Nantes XI vs Olympique de Marseille:

Lopes – Amian, Sow, Castelletto, Pallois (c) – Lepenant, Douglas, Leroux – Abline, Mohamed, Simon. GFFN | George Boxall
