Luan Peres flourishing in Marseille under coach Sampaoli

There has always been a rich tradition of great defenders at Marseille even though the nine-time French champion's motto of “Straight to Goal” is an ode to attacking soccer

SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • Associated Press

Marco Verratti - Back in training Verratti (knee) returned to training but is unlikely to feature for Wednesday's trip to Metz.

Impact Verratti was given a 10-day timeline about a week ago, so a return would be just after Wednesday's match. The good news is that he's on the pitch and working again, so at a minimum, he should be on the bench for Saturday's game.

Lionel Messi - Out with bone bruise Messi will miss Wednesday's trip to Metz because of a bone bruise.

Impact Messi will be re-evaluated in a couple days, but he'll definitely miss the trip to Metz. It's been a slow start to his PSG tenure and injuries aren't helping. The hope is that he can get back to full health ahead of next week's UCL match against Manchester City.

Barcelona held by winless Granada at Camp Nou in Liga

Barcelona needed a 90th-minute equalizer by defender Ronald Araújo to salvage a 1-1 home draw against Granada in the Spanish league

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • Associated Press

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Makes four saves in 2-1 win Donnarumma made four saves in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lyon.

Impact While there could be an argument Donnarumma could've reacted better when Lyon scored, he redeemed himself the rest of the match with some great saves. He's already mounted six saves and one clean sheet while only allowing one goal in two league starts and from first take it seems like he'll be the domestic keeper while Keylor Navas could be between the sticks in the Champions League and other cups.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mauro Icardi - Heads home late winner over Lyon Icardi scored on his lone shot in eight minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Icardi strikes again. The forward came in off the bench late and it didn't take long for him to put his ruthless header in the back of the net for the stoppage-time winner. That was his third goal this season in six appearances (three starts) though the return of all the superstars up front has clearly limited his playing time significantly and that would likely remain the case moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marquinhos - Earns caution in 2-1 victory Marquinhos had one interception, two clearances and a yellow card in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Marquinhos was surprisingly quiet in this one and even made some uncharacteristic mistakes in the back. He was also caught a bit ball watching in the build up for Lyon's goal. The center-back is clearly still looking for his optimal form and has been quiet statistically as well though he's at least racked up two clean sheets in four starts thus far.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Idrissa Gueye - Wins two tackles versus Lyon Gueye had one chance created, two fouls drawn, two tackles (both won) and 65 passes completed in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Gueye didn't have much work in this one and registered a quiet statistical night. The central midfielder though has been off to a stellar start of the campaign offensively already scoring twice in his previous three starts and with so many playmakers around him occasional goals or assists could be expected during the season.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Di Maria - Sends seven crosses versus Lyon Di Maria had two shots (one on target), seven crosses (one accurate), three dribbles, two fouls drawn, four corners, five tackles (three won) and a yellow card in Sunday's 2-1 win...

Impact Di Maria was very active in his return to the lineup and delivered solid numbers in multiple categories. While he's merely started twice thus far this season, he's been sharp when on the pitch and has already mounted one goal and one assist.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Neymar - Converts PK in 2-1 victory Neymar converted a penalty on one of his two shots (one on target), three chances created, six crosses (none accurate), 10 dribbles, seven fouls drawn and four corners in Sunday's...

Impact Neymar was as usually absolutely merciless from the spot and quickly got Parisians back in the game. He delivered another massive stat line with some spectacular numbers in multiple categories. That was his first major contribution of the season and he finally hit the ground running in his third start of the campaign.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kylian Mbappe - Assists in win over Lyon Mbappe (toe) tallied one assist, two shots (off target), two chances created, two crosses (both accurate) and two fouls drawn in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Despite the minor scare this week Mbappe seemed to be fully healthy here and has clearly shaken off his issue. He had a decent overall performance and capped it with a terrific cross for the Mauro Icardi late winner. The former has now had a major contribution in each of his seven starts for a total of four goals and four assists.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - Plays off bench versus Lyon Hakimi played 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Hakimi was given a breather here after playing in every match thus far this season and should be right back in the lineup midweek. He's been extremely productive already mounting one goal, two assists and two clean sheets in six starts.

Impact Messi suffered the original issue last international break and it looks like it's something that continues to bug him. Playing on a short week, it wouldn't be surprising if he was moved to the bench for Wednesday's trip to Metz.
