Reduced by long absences linked to several injuries in the first part of the season, the Marseille squad should be strengthened at the start of January 2026 with the return of several executives.
Amine Gouiri will be back soon. The Algerian center forward was injured during the international break and should make his return at the beginning of January 2026. Very good news for the Marseille city which can no longer count on the regularity of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who left for the CAN with Gabon.
Also at the beginning of January, Roberto de Zerbi should see the reappearance of left central defender Facundo Medina and winger on the same side Hamed Junior Traoré, both injured for more than three months. The latter has only worn the Olympique de Marseille jersey once this season, during the defeat against Lyon (0-1), on August 31.
As mentioned previously, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left with the Gabonese selection just like Nayef Aguerd with Morocco. The two Olympians compete in the competition with more or less favorite nations. Thus, unless their respective selections are eliminated, the two strong men of the Marseille squad should not return to the group before mid-January.
