Six shots in defeat Greenwood recorded six shots (four on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat against Club Brugge.

Impact Greenwood was Marseille's most persistent attacker but could not beat Simon Mignolet, who saved his best chance in the 77th minute from the right side of the box. The forward attempted six shots against the Belgian, but most of them came from distance and were not enough to trouble the veteran keeper. This marked Greenwood's last game in Europe this season, as Marseille was eliminated from the Queen competition after finishing 25th in the standings for the 24 qualified teams.

Concedes three in awful loss Rulli registered two saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Club Brugge.

Impact Rulli was beaten twice inside the opening 11 minutes as Club Brugge struck quickly through Mamadou Diakhon and Romeo Vermant. Rulli made a terrible hand mistake on the first goal, setting the tone for the game and marking one of the numerous errors he made this season that cost games to Marseille. The third goal came late from close range, leaving Rulli with little chance once the shot was placed into the bottom corner. The terrible performance from the goalkeeper was his last this season for OM in the Champions League, as they finished 25th in the standings for 24 qualified teams.

Suspension served Pavard is eligible after completing a one-game ban in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League visit to Brugge.

Impact Pavard will be in contention for minutes with Nayef Aguerd, Leonardo Balerdi and Facundo Medina in the next league contests. The 2018 World Cup winner has featured in both central and right-sided positions in the current campaign, recording one goal and two assists in 15 Ligue 1 appearances, though he should be more frequently reliable for clearances and tackles when he's on the field.

Option against Club Brugge Paixao (undisclosed) is travelling with the squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge despite training apart on Tuesday, the club posted.

Impact Paixao was spotted training with a physio on the side during Tuesday's final training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, but the forward was later seen with the team before travelling to Belgium, confirming he is an option for the game. That said, if he had to start on the bench due to fitness issues, Amir Murillo would be the one starting on the left flank in his spot.

Training apart Tuesday Paixao (undisclosed) was spotted training apart during the last training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, according to La Minute OM.

Impact Paixao was spotted training on his own with a physio during the last training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, suggesting the forward is dealing with an issue. The Brazilian will likely be a late call ahead of the game and if he has to miss the clash or start on the bench, Amir Murillo will likely start on the left flank against the Belgians.

Available following rest Kondogbia was rested during Saturday's win against Lens and is back available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, according to La Minute OM.

Impact Kondogbia was rested for the clash against Lens on Saturday as he has been struggling with his fitness since the beginning of the season and the staff didn't want to take any risks ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge. Kondogbia has been a regular starter for Marseille in the Champions League and will likely be the preferred starter alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the middle of the pitch until newcomer Quinten Timber can be added to the UCL roster.

Clears illness Nadir cleared his illness and is back available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge, according to La Minute OM.

Impact Nadir missed the last game against Lens due to fever but the midfielder was spotted training in full on Tuesday and is back available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Club Brugge. This is good news for Marseille since he will had an option in the midfield, although he will without a doubt resume a bench role moving forward for the Olympians.

Signs extension Mmadi has extended his contract with Marseille, according to his club.

Impact Mmadi is extending his ties with Marseille after working up through the youth ranks, with the forward inking a deal until 2029. He has only earned a few appearances with the club thus far, appearing four times, all of which this season. More time should follow in the future, although he may have to wait longer than this season.

'My passport changes things' – De Zerbi suggests Marseille criticism has been unfair after headline win Roberto De Zerbi alleged he is criticised more frequently, as an Italian, than other Ligue 1 coaches, following Marseille's win over Lens.

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.

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.

Provides assist in new role Paixao assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Lens.

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.

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.

Scores dream goal in debut Nwaneri scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 win against Lens.

Impact Nwaneri scored in the 13rd minute on his Marseille debut, curling a finish into the bottom corner after collecting the ball in midfield and driving forward through half of the pitch. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg provided the assist, finding him early as Marseille broke Lens' midfield shape, with the Danish midfielder playing a key role in the move. The goal gave Marseille a two-goal lead and complete control of the match flow. Nwaneri is expected to secure a starting role in OM's frontline and could take some set pieces depending on the match context and the players on the pitch.

Scores brace in victory Gouiri scored two goals to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over Lens.

Impact Gouiri opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, exchanging passes with Igor Paixao before clipping his finish over Robin Risser. He added his second in the second half, finishing a wonderful team move by meeting Timothy Weah's first-time cross to restore Marseille's three-goal lead. His movement between the centre backs consistently created the first-half separation Marseille needed. Gouiri has now scored three goals in his last four appearances since returning from a shoulder injury, proving he is a key player in Marseille's frontline and likely to remain so until the end of the season.

Concedes late goal in victory Rulli registered one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Lens.

Impact Rulli conceded once in the 85th minute when Rayan Fofana finished from close range, one of Lens' few shots on target. He was largely protected by Marseille's control of possession and tempo after the early two goal lead and could not do much about the goal. Rulli made only one save for his third consecutive game and conceded in each of them. He will look to secure a clean sheet in the decisive Champions League matchup against Club Brugge on Wednesday.
