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.

Leonardo Balerdi - 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.

Leonardo Balerdi - 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.

Amine Gouiri - 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.

Geronimo Rulli - 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.

Arthur Vermeeren - Sees red Sunday Vermeeren was shown a red card in the 26th minute of Sunday's 2-0 loss to Nantes.

Impact Vermeeren is heading towards a suspension this week, with the midfielder sent off after only 23 minutes of play, after a straight red card. He will miss at least their next match against Angers on Jan. 17, potentially more depending on the ruling. This will force a change, with Matt O'Riley or Geoffrey Kondogbia as possible replacement.

Impact Aubameyang was off with Gabon at AFCON, but after an unsuccessful run by his national team, he has returned to Marseille for his club. He has been their regular starter at forward and should reclaim that role, although he may need some time to rest after playing at AFCON.

Hamed Junior Traore - Fit once again Traore (thigh) is fit for Sunday's match against Nantes, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Traore has reported a clean bill of health this week after some thigh issues before the break, as he has trained and is deemed an option. He has only appeared twice all season due to injuries and will likely need some time to get his legs back, last playing Aug. 31. He will eye time on the left side of the attack once fully fit, already having earned an assist in their season opener.

Nayef Aguerd - Represents Morocco Aguerd is currently representing Morocco at the AFCON and will miss several weeks with Marseille.

Impact Aguerd won't be an option for Marseille in the coming weeks since he is representing Morocco at the AFCON. The center-back has been an undisputed starter in the backline for OM, therefore his absence forces a change in central defense, with Leonardo Balerdi and Benjamin Pavard expected to pair together until he returns.

Facundo Medina - Back after three months Medina (ankle) featured half an hour in Sunday's 6-0 victory against FBBP in the French Cup, confirming he is back fit for OM after three months out.

Impact Medina made his return on the pitch after three months on the sidelines due to a severe ankle injury he suffered during the victory against Ajax in the Champions League. The defender played half an hour in Sunday's win in the French Cup and is expected to be a nice addition in the backline, finding regularly a starting role if he can remain fit for the Olympians.

The attacking midfielder is aiming a competitive return for the Trophee des Champions against PSG that will take place on Jan. 8. His return will be a big boost for the Olympians' frontline since he can play as a real number 10 and coach Roberto de Zerbi said he was missing that kind of profile in recent weeks.
