De Zerbi Poised to Bench Gomes and Paixão Following Marseille’s Struggles
Auxerre, France – Olympique de Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly considering notable changes to his starting lineup for Saturday’s Ligue 1 match against Auxerre. The move comes after a disappointing run of form for Les Phocéens, who are currently without a win in their last three matches.
According to recent reports in French media, De Zerbi is contemplating benching Angel Gomes and Igor Paixão. Both players have been struggling to perform, and the former Brighton manager is seeking to inject a spark into the team.
It is anticipated that Amir Murillo,Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang,and Robinio Vaz will be included in the starting eleven. Whether these adjustments will be enough to turn the tide remains to be seen.
De Zerbi was visibly displeased with his team’s performance against SCO Angers on Wednesday, particularly during the first half. A strong response is expected from the players in Burgundy.
The Auxerre match marks the beginning of a crucial stretch for Marseille. Following the trip, they will host Atalanta in a Champions league fixture and then face Stade Brestois in ligue 1. This series of games will be a key indicator of Marseille’s ambitions for the season.
Fans and observers will be closely watching how De Zerbi’s team responds, especially given the team’s recent challenges and player availability.
