http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 worried by Loic Remy’s injury – Ligue 1 news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international Loic Remy scored Olympique de Marseille’s opening goal in the ninth minute of the Ligue 1 encounter with rivals Paris Saint-Germain. The final score was 3-0 to the home side. Though the result was a great one for an under-pressure Marseille
side, three points came at the expense of an injury to Loic Remy.
The young striker landed awkwardly and twisted his ankle in the process in the first quarter of the game. The striker was then replaced by Jordan Ayew who did an excellent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 despite coming in to such a game so early.
A Cesar Azpilicueta cross was efficiently headed in by Remy beyond http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salvatore-Sirigu-c32282 but Didier Deschamps is worried about his striker’s fitness.
A sprained ankle means that the Frenchman could be out for a long time and with a few crucial games coming up soon, Deschamps is in dire need of reinforcements.
“We hope that his absence will be as short as possible,” Deschamps said while talking to L’Equipe. In the shape of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098, Marseille do have a great option. However, the Ghanaian international is still very young at the moment and he needs time to
step up his game and take so much responsibility.
Andre-Pierre Gignac on the other hand, is another option at Deschamps disposal. However, the French tactician is reluctant to include the former Toulouse man in his plans for the future especially after his outburst with him in a training session a few days
back.
On Friday, Olympique de Marseille play against Caen and Deschamps knows that his side needs to win the game in order to continue their recovery process. Furthermore, Olympique de Marseille will travel to North Rhine-Westphalia to face German Bundesliga champions
Borussia Dortmund in a crucial UEFA Champions League game.
In order to give themselves a chance to make it through to the last-16 of the competition, Les Phoceens need to beat Jurgen Klopp’s side at the Signal Iduna Park.
Remy’s absence is certainly a major blow for Deschamps as the youngster has scored seven goals in 15 games for Marseille and has proven to be an integral part of Marseille’s attacking quartet.
