Timothy Weah, OM captain, struggling after frustrating World Cup with United States | OneFootball

Timothy Weah accepted responsibility after being at fault for Rennes' goal in Marseille's 0-1 defeat on Friday night. The new OM captain's testing start comes after a frustrating World Cup with the United States.

According to L'Équipe, Weah has been a dependable, composed figure, often stepping forward to address defeats last season. He continues to front up when the situation demands it.

He was named captain this summer after the hierarchy stripped Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg of the armband, following his refusal of an offer from Newcastle. The change has given Weah added authority in difficult moments.

He fulfilled that duty again, speaking immediately after the 0-1 reverse to Rennes. His assessment came in the heat of the moment.

The sequence underlines a challenging opening to the campaign. He remains the figure expected to absorb pressure and explain setbacks.
