Two goal contributions in victory Traore scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Angers.

Impact Traore scored Marseille's third goal in the 34th minute from an Emerson delivery, then provided the assist for Timothy Weah's header right before the break, as the Olympians ran away with the match before halftime. Traore was influential between the lines, creating three chances to go with two shots, which highlighted why OM signed him over the summer. The attacking midfielder has dealt with several injuries since the beginning of the season but is now set to contribute for Marseille and could see decent playing time in the frontline, although he faces competition from Igor Paixao for a starting role.

One save in win Rulli made one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 5-2 win over Angers.

Impact Rulli was rarely tested, with Angers managing only three shots on target, and he finished with one save in a comfortable Marseille win at Raymond Kopa. He was beaten twice, conceding to Amine Sbai just before halftime and Jim Allevinah in stoppage time, and he could not do much on either goal. Marseille's control of possession and shot volume kept his workload minimal for long stretches. The Argentine will look to build on that performance in the significant Champions League clash coming on Wednesday against Liverpool.

Available against Angers Gomes (calf) is an option for Saturday's clash against Angers, the club posted.

Impact Gomes has cleared his recent calf injury suffered in the Coupe de France against Bayeux since he has been included in the match squad for Saturday's clash against Angers. That said, following the return of Arthur Vermeeren from suspension, the Englishman will likely resume a bench role moving forward for the Olympians.

Not available Saturday Pavard (undisclosed) is not available for Saturday's clash against Angers due to a minor issue, the club posted.

Impact Pavard suffered a minor issue following the Coupe de France win against Bayeux and was left out of the match squad for Saturday's clash against Angers. This is likely as a precaution to have him fit for Wednesday's important Champions League game against Liverpool at the Velodrome. Amir Murillo or Conrad Jonathan Egan-Riley are the likely options to replace him depending on the system chosen by coach Roberto de Zerbi.

Available after rest Paixao is back available after being rested in the French Cup, coach Roberto de Zerbi said in the press conference. "Everyone else is fine."

Impact Paixao was rested in the Coupe de France but is now fully an option for Saturday's clash against Angers. The forward is expected to resume his starting role on the left wing, although he might see some decreased playing time with the returns of Amine Gouiri and Hamed Traore from injuries.

Late call against Angers Angel (calf) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Angers, coach Roberto de Zerbi said in the press conference. "Angel came off with a calf problem, we'll see."

Impact Angel was forced off in the large French Cup victory against Bayeux due to a calf injury and will be a late call for Saturday's clash against the SCO. The midfielder will be assessed after the final training session to know if he can make the squad, eventhough a potential absence won't impact much the starting XI since he has mainly been a bench option recently and reportedly close to make a move away from Marseille.

Impact Pavard has been dealing with a minor issue this week and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Angers. The center-back will likely be a late call after Friday's final training session and if he had to miss the game on Saturday, a change will have to be made in the backline since he is an undisputed starter for OM this season, with Conrad Jonathan Egan-Riley as a likely option to start if he misses out.

Scores, leaves with injury Tuesday Angel scored a goal but was unable to finish Tuesday's Coupe de France meeting with Bayeux FC.

Impact Angel was starting to gain momentum with one goal and an assist in his last two cup games, so the event of a serious issue would leave the squad without a strong midfield asset. Still, the extent of the blow remains to be revealed. He was replaced by Darryl Bakola after the injury, but perhaps Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Arthur Vermeeren will have better chances of returning to the lineup going forward.

Not available in Cup Paixao (undisclosed) trained indoors on Monday and isn't an option for Tuesday's clash against Bayeux in the French Cup, the club posted.

Impact Paixao is dealing with some issues as he didn't train with the team on Monday and is out from the match squad for Tuesday's clash against Bayeux in the French Cup. The Brazilian will likely be assessed ahead of Saturday's clash against Angers and if he had to miss some time, Hamed Traore will likely see a larger role for OM in the frontline, eventhough Amine Gouiri could also start on the left wing, letting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starting as the number 9.

Impact Vermeeren will not miss any Ligue 1 games since he received a two-match suspension that will be completed in the next two French Cups games against PSG and Bayeux. This will allow the midfielder to feature against Angers on Jan. 17, and will likely return directly to the starting XI since he seems to have won a starting role under coach Roberto de Zerbi.

Clear illness Balerdi (illness) is in the squad for the Trophee des Champions' game against Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday, the club posted.

Impact Balerdi has cleared the illness that made him miss the defeat against Nantes on Sunday and is now available for the Olympians to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophee des Champions happening on Thursday in Koweit. Balerdi should resume a starting role given the recent performance of Marseille against the Canaries and while Nayef Aguerd remains unavailable due to international duty.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Misses with illness Balerdi missed Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Nantes due to illness, according to Bruno Blanzat from La Provence.

Impact Balerdi was missing from the match squad for Sunday's game against Nantes due to illness, and his absence was a blow for the Olympians, as it forced coach Roberto de Zerbi to start Conrad Jonathan Egan-Riley and Facundo Medina in the backline, who had not seen much playing time this season. Both are likely to see increased playing time moving forward if the captain remains out, since Nayef Aguerd is still in Morocco for the AFCON. Balerdi's next chance to feature will come against Angers on Jan. 17.

Three crosses off bench Gouiri recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Nantes.

Impact Gouiri entered in the 73rd minute as Marseille searched for a response and immediately took up positions off the left side of the attack. This marked Gouiri's first appearance since early October as he returned from a significant shoulder injury. His clearest moment came in the 75th minute when he tried to shoot through traffic from the left side of the box, only for Nantes to block the attempt. With Marseille reduced to nine men, his touches often came under pressure, and Nantes' backline stayed compact. Gouiri added three crosses to his shift, as his right foot remains a notable threat on set pieces when he is on the pitch. The Algerian will likely find his way back into a meaningful role for the Olympians in the coming fixtures now that he is fit again for OM.

Seven saves in defeat Rulli made seven saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Nantes.

Impact Rulli kept Marseille alive for long stretches, finishing with seven saves as Nantes hit nine shots on target. He made early stops on Kelvin Amian's header in the 8th minute and a close range effort from Youssef El Arabi in the 22nd minute. He also made a stop on Matthis Abline's shot that led to the opener, as he pushed the ball toward Fabien Centonze. The first half from the keeper was extremely poor, as he could have conceded two more goals to the Canaries and was not at his usual level at all. After Marseille went down to nine men, he produced several key saves but could not do much on Remy Cabella's penalty kick. Rulli will hope to rebound against Angers on Jan. 17, as his recent outings could lead to a change in goal if he cannot get back on track, especially with Jeffrey De Lange having consistently performed well when called upon for Marseille.
