OM played their last match of 2025 this Sunday. Still without Amine Gouiri and Hamed Traoré.
OM won its place in 16e of the Coupe de France final at the expense of Bourg-en-Bresse, a National club outclassed with a score of 6-0 this Sunday. After about ten days of respite, the Marseillais will return to the Commanderie at the end of the year to attack the resumption of Ligue 1 from January 4 against Nantes.
Until then, Roberto De Zerbi will not yet have recovered the internationals concerned by the CAN which are Nayef Aguerd (Morocco) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), but the Marseille technician hopes to see his squad reinforced by two new elements. This after recording today the return to the game of Facundo Medina. For half an hour.
De Zerbi remains cautious
“ Medina was able to play a few minutes, but I did not dare to put Traoré on the bench », Said the Italian strategist at a press conference. This while the Ivorian will-o-the-wisp was expected to rejoin the group this weekend like the Argentine defender. With 15 additional days of rest and ground work, Hamed Traoré should be ready for the start of the school year in January.
As for Algerian striker Amine Gouiri, who had shoulder surgery two months ago, the outlook, however, remains a little more vague. “ I don’t know exactly. He has resumed racing but he has specific deadlines. The surgeon must agree. His return will not be immediate », breathes Roberto De Zerbi. The return of the former Rennais is still hoped for the Champions Trophy against PSG, on January 8 in Kuwait.
