Injury Crisis: Jean-Louis Gasset’s Dilemma Ahead of PSG Classic

Jean-Louis Gasset is faced with a real headache in putting together his team for the Classic against PSG on Sunday (8:45 p.m.).

In this context, Jean-Louis Gasset will have to become a magician. The coach of Olympique de Marseille must face an incredible massacre a few days before a still highly anticipated Classic against historic rival Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday (20-45).

The OM infirmary was already well stocked with long-term injuries to Valentin Rongier and Bilal Nadir. In this category, two new players joined him: Amir Murillo and Bamo Meïté. But the list of packages is not limited to these serious injuries. After the international break, Jonathan Clauss, Pape Gueye, Ismaïla Sarr and Ulisses Garcia were also victims of physical problems.

Some reasons for hope all the same…

A list as long as an arm to which are added some uncertainties like Samuel Gigot, Leonardo Balerdi or Jean Onana. In the worst case scenario, Jean-Louis Gasset could find himself with two professional defenders on the scoresheet: Chancel Mbemba and Quentin Merlin

A completely crazy scenario which will still be mitigated by a few specific solutions. The old kitty Stéphane Sparagna will rejoin the Marseille group, while the chances of seeing Balerdi, Gigot, Onana and even Garcia are not zero. Some of these elements could be put back together without being 100%. Whatever happens, Gasset will opt for new choices, such as potentially sliding Geoffrey Kondogbia into central defense.
