New blow for OM. Already faced with a certain number of physical problems (Gueye, Sarr, Gigot...), Jean-Louis Gasset saw Jonathan Clauss go out injured in the 11th minute of France-Chili this Tuesday, at the Vélodrome. The ex-Lensois seemed to be hit in the left thigh. Disappointed, he returned to the bench with his head down before giving way to Barcelona's Jules Koundé. The first diagnosis did not take long to come, and it is not good news for the Marseille club: the FFF mentioned this Tuesday a “left ischial tear”.
A long-term absence would obviously be problematic for Gasset and OM, qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League (Benfica on April 11 and 18) and in the race for a European place via the championship. The Marseillais currently appear in seventh position in the Ligue 1 standings. Their next opponent? Paris Saint-Germain, Sunday (8:45 p.m.), for the closing shock of the 27th day of L1. A priori, it will therefore be without Jonathan Clauss. Who will replace him ?
Note that Eduardo Camavinga was also forced to come off due to injury at the end of the first period. Victim of a “sprained left ankle”, he gave way to Mattéo Guendouzi, returning to Blue and a former OM player. The Lazio player was warmly welcomed by the Vélodrome.
