Marseille’s Anticipated Starting XI Against Toulouse: Greenwood and Henrique in the Spotlight

Olympique de Marseille has endured a tumultuous week following their unexpected 3-1 defeat to Stade de Reims last weekend. This loss marked their fourth defeat in five matches and third consecutive loss.

Speculation has arisen about manager Roberto De Zerbi potentially altering the team’s formation, moving away from the three-back system, especially after center-back Leonardo Balerdi’s season-ending injury. However, reports suggest that the Italian coach will maintain the 3-4-2-1 formation against Toulouse FC, with Geoffrey Kondogbia dropping into the defensive line.

Despite recent criticism, Mason Greenwood and Luis Henrique are expected to retain their places in the starting lineup. Amine Gouiri’s participation was uncertain after missing Friday’s training session, likely resulting in Neal Maupay leading the attack.

Marseille’s Probable Lineup vs Toulouse:

Gerónimo Rulli; Geoffrey Kondogbia, Derek Cornelius, Amir Murillo; Quentin Merlin, Ismaël Bennacer, Valentin Rongier, Luis Henrique; Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood; Neal Maupay.
