Olympique de Marseille are without two new signings as they head to the Bernabeu, looking to get their UEFA Champions League campaign underway with a win against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
Marseille will be without Nayef Aguerd. The Moroccan started and scored on debut over the weekend in a 4-0 win over FC Lorient, however, he suffered a head injury, which has invoked the concussion protocol. That sees him ruled out of tonight’s match.
Another new signing, Hamed Traoré, is also absent for Roberto De Zerbi’s side. The former Bournemouth man has suffered a thigh injury and has not made the trip to the Spanish capital. Pol Lirola, Neal Maupay, and Ulisses Garcia are all ineligible, having not been included in OM’s Champions League squad.
