Marseille Defender Out: Key Player Injured Before Liverpool Clash

Medical examinations confirmed a lesion in his left thigh, though the exact duration of his absence has not been specified by the club. This injury is a significant blow for Marseille as they prepare for a crucial fixture.

Meanwhile, Liverpool could be bolstered by the potential return of their star forward, Mohamed Salah, who is coming back from the Africa Cup of Nations. With only two rounds remaining in the competition, Marseille currently occupies 16th place, three points behind Liverpool, who are in 11th.
