Having been rested, no less than partially, in midweek towards Villarreal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is anticipated to return to the beginning XI as they journey to face Stade Rennais on Sunday afternoon.
Aubameyang was one of many gamers rested in midweek. With Olympique de Marseille’s spot within the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals seemingly sealed after a 4-0 first-leg victory on the Vélodrome, their large lead simply wanted to be managed. While Les Phocéens nearly secured their qualification, Aubameyang, who Jean-Louis Gasset would have wished to present a much bigger relaxation, was compelled to return off the bench at half-time. The Gabonese ahead arrange Jonathan Clauss’ objective within the dying minutes, which finally killed the tie.
Nonetheless, Aubameyang is anticipated to start out as soon as once more on Sunday. Elsewhere, Samuel Gigot, Michael Murillo, Bilal Nadir, Jean Onana and Valentin Rongier all stay sidelined with accidents.
