Four straight defeats: OM travel to Troyes without Hojbjerg, Cornelius or Weah

Second-to-last in Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille travel to Troyes this Sunday evening (20:45) for matchday 6 of the championship, with the imperative to end a run of four consecutive defeats.

Bruno Genesio will have to do without three key players for this match. Emile Hojbjerg and Derek Cornelius are both ruled out through injury, while Timothy Weah is suspended. The rest of the squad is available: in defence, Nayef Aguerd, Emerson and CJ Egan-Riley are present; in midfield, Himad Abdelli, Amine Harit and Angel Gomes are called up; in attack, Amine Gouiri and Neal Maupay notably feature in the squad.

OM sit second-to-last in the standings with only three points, the result of a catastrophic run of four straight defeats in Ligue 1. While the Phocaeans have shown some encouraging signs in their play during their recent outings, their inability to hold firm over the course of matches has cost them dearly.

Opposite them, Troyes are little better off. The Aubois, who knew from the start of the season they would be fighting for survival, are also on three consecutive defeats after a promising start to the championship — a draw and a win in the first two matchdays. This clash between struggling sides therefore takes on a particularly important dimension for both camps, with every point now worth its weight in gold in the fight for survival.
