Gerónimo Rulli
OMKeeps clean sheet in win
Rulli registered two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Le Havre.
Analysis: Rulli stood on his head in Sunday's 1-0 win at Le Havre, coming up with a huge double save before halftime to stonewall Gautier Lloris from point-blank range on a free kick and then reacting quickly to clear Issa Soumare's follow-up header, before catching a major break when Sofiane Boufal's penalty smashed off the crossbar with 20 minutes left. He now sits on eight clean sheets through 28 Ligue 1 appearances this season, with this one snapping a two-month drought. Rulli will try to carry that momentum into Sunday's massive showdown at the Velodrome against Rennes with fifth place on the line.
Out to face Nantes
Rulli (nack) is ruled out for Saturday's trip to Nantes due to an injury, according to l'Equipe.
Analysis: Rulli has been unable to pass his late fitness assessment after uncertainty surrounded his condition following reports of him working in the gym earlier in the week, with the exact nature of the issue being confirmed as back problems. Marseille opted against rushing him back before he is fully ready, with Jeffrey De Lange set to step between the posts for the trip to Nantes against the Canaries. His availability for the coming fixtures will be monitored closely as the club looks to have their first-choice goalkeeper back as soon as possible during their European qualification push.
Concedes late penalty
Rulli had one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Nice. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.
Analysis: Rulli picked up a yellow card in the 87th minute for arguing the penalty call that led to Elye Wahi's late equalizer, capping off a frustrating finish as Marseille let two points slip from a winning spot against a Nice side that managed just five shots over 90 minutes. He was barely tested for most of the match, with Nice offering so little going forward that Rulli was forced into action for just one save before the penalty. He'll now aim to snap his clean sheet drought in Saturday's matchup against Nantes.
