OM: Payet, first hiccup for Tudor at Tottenham

Present in the OM group to challenge Tottenham this Wednesday evening, Dimitri Payet should not be a starter. Embarrassed in the calf, the captain of Olympique de Marseille watched from his sofa his team’s victory against AJ Auxerre on Saturday afternoon during the sixth day of Ligue 1. Back in the group for the trip perilous at Tottenham in the Champions League, Dimitri Payet has little chance of starting according to L’Equipe. And for good reason, the national daily reveals this Wednesday that the staff of Igor Tudor should not take the slightest risk with the physique of the Reunionese, who has a good chance of starting the shock of the 1st day of the Champions League on the bench . A blow for OM, when we know that the other major attacking asset of the team, namely Alexis Sanchez, is suspended due to a red card received with Inter Milan last season. Payet too fair to start “If I’m here, it’s because I’m 100%” explained Dimitri Payet, present Tuesday evening on the eve of the match alongside Igor Tudor at a press conference. Despite his return to the group, Dimitri Payet will therefore be saved by his coach while on Saturday evening, OM continues with a second full-bodied match, the reception of Lille at the Vélodrome. In order to make up for the absence of Alexis Sanchez and the benching of Dimitri Payet in London this Wednesday, Igor Tudor should renew Mattéo Guendouzi as playmaker. The French international will support Gerson, author of a good match in Auxerre Saturday evening. Finally, it is Luis Suarez who will occupy the forefront of the Marseille attack, Bamba Dieng and Cédric Bakambu not having been registered on the list of players qualified to play in the Champions League. Despite the absences of Sanchez and Payet in the eleven, Harit and Ünder should therefore not take advantage of it, Igor Tudor having the concern of building a solid team above all in London. The probable eleven of OM in Tottenham: Lopez – Mbemba, Bailly, Kolasinac – Clauss, Veretout, Rongier (cap), Nuno Tavares – Guendouzi, Gerson, Luis Suarez.
