Thursday evening, Olympique de Marseille lost against Benfica (2-1). Beaten at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, the Phocaeans took a bad option, before receiving Benfica at the Vélodrome, for the return match, next Thursday (9 p.m.). A meeting in which Quentin Merlin (21 years old) will not participate. The former Nantes player was taken out on a stretcher before the break following contact with David Neres and suffered a major sprained ankle.
According to the latest information from The Team, the Marseille full-back took exams on his return to Marseille this Friday. If his sprain does not present any complications, Quentin Merlin is forced to forfeit the return match and should be absent for two to three weeks with OM. A hard blow at the end of the season.
