French media have delivered reassuring updates on the condition of Algerian international Amine Gouiri, Olympique de Marseille's striker, following his injury during the match against Lorient (4-0) on Ligue 1 matchday four.Gouiri suffered a heavy blow to his shoulder and face after a collision with Ivorian defender Bamo Meïté, who was attempting to clear the ball but whose knee struck the Marseille forward directly.According to “L’Équipe” and “RMC,” the injury is not serious: his jaw was not directly affected and he is only experiencing minor pain in his shoulder, which is being closely monitored by OM's medical staff.

Despite these positive updates, Gouiri’s participation in the Champions League clash against Real Madrid next Tuesday is still up in the air.The striker hopes at the very least to be included in the squad traveling to Madrid, but the final decision will depend on how his condition evolves over the coming days.If he is sidelined, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to lead the Marseille attack, having started the last game on the bench.
