Set to return against Nantes
Gouiri (hamstring) returned to partial training and will make the squad for Saturday's clash against Nantes, according to coach Habib Beye. "Amine returned to partial training and will make the squad."
Analysis: Gouiri has been sidelined since picking up muscular problems during the loss at Lorient, making his return to the squad a faster turnaround than the rehabilitation phase had initially suggested. The striker is unlikely to start against Nantes given the limited training time he has had, but his presence on the bench gives coach Habib Beye a valuable attacking option to call upon as Marseille push through the final fixtures of their European qualification push.
Ruled out, timeline unknown
Gouiri (undisclosed) has been ruled out and his return date remains unclear, according to coach Habib Beye.
Analysis: Gouiri had been very uncertain for Sunday's South Derby against Nice after picking up muscular problems during the loss at Lorient, and the coach's update confirms he will not be available for the immediate fixtures ahead. The striker has been an important presence in Marseille's attack whenever fit, and his absence alongside Igor Paixao (calf) leaves manager Habib Beye with limited options in the front line during a critical stage of the club's push for European qualification. Hamed Traore is expected to continue in a larger attacking role until Gouiri is cleared to return.
