INFO RMC SPORT – Pape Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaïla Sarr will return to Marseille after the elimination of Senegal in the round of 16 of CAN 2024. For Sarr, who seemed to be leaving in recent days, the Olympian leaders would be in the process of review their position.
Marseille will record the returns of Pape Gueye, Iliman N’Diaye and Ismaïla Sarr after the elimination of Senegal on Monday evening in the round of 16 of the CAN, against Ivory Coast. Gennaro Gattuso assured last week that he had not discussed, with the players concerned, the conditions of their return to Marseille, in the event of elimination. But the club will quickly contact the three Olympians in question to have the details of their trip, with the desire to see them reintegrate the OM squad to prepare for the match against Lyon on Sunday.

NDiaye, Sarr (and Moumbagna) available from Sunday in Lyon?
The case of Pape Gueye still remains unique. Already, the midfielder is injured in the calf, and could not be aligned against Ivory Coast. Then, Gueye was put under pressure by OM management, upset that he did not want to extend or be transferred 5 months from the end of his contract. Gattuso is not counting on him for Sunday, but hopes to have Ndiaye and Sarr at his disposal for the match in Lyon. With the imminent departure of Vitinha, the Italian technician needs solutions in attack. In addition to the Cameroonian Faris Moumbagna, who has already arrived in Marseille and who will start training with the group, Iliman Ndiaye will be an option for the Olympian staff, alongside Aubameyang.
Gattuso wants to keep Ismaïla Sarr
Concerning Ismaïla Sarr, a departure seemed to be looming in recent days. The player was the subject of discussions with Villarreal and attracted interest from English clubs. According to the latest news, Marseille is reviewing its position and hoping that its performances at the CAN will serve as a trigger. During a meeting at the end of last week, the Italian technician also informed his managers that Sarr’s profile, his speed and his power, offered him an interesting option on the right side and the possibility of sometimes finding a 4 /3/3, with Luis Henrique on the left. The Brazilian has seduced Gattuso since his arrival. In particular, he went to see the Italian coach, telling him that he did not know how long he was going to stay in Marseille, but that he would give everything for OM as long as he was at the club. His presence, combined with the return of Sarr, offers Gattuso new perspectives in attack. Unless there is a big offer for Sarr between now and Thursday evening, the trend is – this Tuesday – that he remains at OM.
