Bilal Nadir - Dealing with illness Nadir (illness) missed Saturday's 3-1 win against Lens due to fever, coach Roberto de Zerbi said in the press conference, according to Massilia Zone. "Nadir had fever Yesterday."
Impact Nadir missed Saturday's 3-1 win against Lens due to a fever and is expected to return for the Champions League match against Bruges on Wednesday. The versatile midfielder is an important part of the rotation and is capable of playing in several positions across the pitch. Nadir will likely see limited playing time due to the new addition of Quinten Timber.

Tim Weah - Delivers assist with brillant cross Weah assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Lens.
Impact Weah assisted Amine Gouiri's second goal of the night against Lens with a first time cross from the right that the striker finished to give Marseille a three goal lead. He stretched Lens with direct runs and provided width, which opened space for central runners. Even after Lens pulled one back, his work rate helped Marseille manage the final minutes. Weah continues to be a decent and consistent presence in the XI for OM and will likely secure a starting role with the USMNT at the World Cup if he maintains his current level.

Impact Paixao set up Amine Gouiri's third minute opener against Lens, combining quickly before the Algerian clipped his finish over the keeper. He remained Marseille's most direct wide outlet, repeatedly carrying the ball into the final third and forcing Lens to defend deeper than they wanted. Paixao operated in a new role after starting as a true wing-back against Lens, putting in significant defensive work, contributing three tackles and three interceptions to cap off another solid shift from the Brazilian.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Brillant outing in midfield Hojbjerg assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Lens.
Impact Hojbjerg assisted Ethan Nwaneri's 13rd minute goal, initiating the move that doubled Marseille's lead. He dictated the tempo through the middle, keeping Marseille composed when Lens tried to settle after the early shock. His positioning and deviations were key to the game, as he destabilized Lens' central structure, which is usually the main asset of the Sang et Or. Hojbjerg created two chances, drew four fouls, and set a new season high with six clearances during his shift.
