Dimitri Payet out through injury during the OM-Feyenoord match (Europa Conference League)

Olympique de Marseille will have to do without Dimitri Payet for the last sixty minutes of the Europa League Conference semi-final second leg against Feyenoord Rotterdam. When he wanted to make a long pass, the OM playmaker injured his right leg on his own. The former Stéphanois limped out, to the cheers of the Vélodrome, and was replaced by Arkadiusz Milik.

In 2018, during the lost Europa League final (0-3) against Antoine Griezmann’s Atlético de Madrid, Dimitri Payet also had to leave his partners in tears during the match because of a thigh injury. From now on, the duration of the unavailability of the French international will be closely monitored, because Marseille have still three matches to play in the league to defend their second place. And possibly a C4 final?
