Impact Balerdi is fit and available for Marseille but has been dealing with foot pain since his return from international duty with Argentina. The Marseille captain is expected to remain on the bench for Tuesday's Champions League opener against Real Madrid after the strong performances of Nayef Aguerd and Benjamin Pavard in their first game with OM on Friday, as both center-backs scored. That said, the three of them could feature together in a back-three defense, which is likely to happen once Balerdi is fully fit.

Own goal decides the Olympico Balerdi had an own goal, two tackles (one won) and nine clearances in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lyon.

Impact Balerdi's attempted clearance crossed his own line for the 87th-minute winner, deciding the match after Marseille had defended stoutly with 10 men from the half-hour mark. The Marseille captain is having a horrible start to the season, being at fault on almost all the goals conceded by his team so far, although he did contribute decently in the defensive area with nine clearances and two tackles against the Gones. Balerdi will hope to get his ideas back on track for the game against Lorient after the international break, as the clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu will come only a few days later.
