Brazilian striker Brandao is set to return for Marseille after being included in the squad to face defending champion Lille in the French league on Sunday.
Coach Didier Deschamps said on Friday that Brandao was a little short of match fitness but was ''in decent shape'' and has shown a lot of ''determination'' in training since joining on loan from Gremio this week.
Brandao scored 24 goals in 90 games for Marseille and helped it to win the league title and League Cup two seasons ago. He scored four goals in 14 league games with Gremio.
In March last year, an investigating judge filed preliminary charges of rape against Brandao but released him from custody pending further investigation. He was authorized to leave France but required to attend any judicial hearings.
