Marseille’s Anticipated Starting XI for Strasbourg Clash: Maupay and Greenwood to Spearhead Attack

Marseille, currently second in the league, is set to host the in-form Strasbourg at the Vélodrome this Sunday. The home team will be eager to bounce back after their heartbreaking Coupe de France exit against Lille earlier this week.

According to reliable sources, manager Roberto De Zerbi is expected to deploy his preferred attacking trio of Luis Henrique, Mason Greenwood, and Neal Maupay. Elye Wahi, who has attracted interest from West Ham United and Eintracht Frankfurt, will be sidelined due to injury. The midfield will likely see young talent Bilal Nadir partnering with the experienced Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, as both Geoffrey Kondogbia and Valentin Rongier are unavailable for selection.

The defensive line is anticipated to consist of Derek Cornelius, Leonardo Balerdi, and Amir Murillo. However, there’s a possibility that new signing Luiz Felipe, formerly of Al-Ittihad, could make his debut for Marseille in this match.

Marseille’s Projected Lineup:

Goalkeeper: Geronimo Rulli

Defenders: Amir Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius

Midfielders: Luis Henrique, Bilal Nadir, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Ulysses Garcia

Forwards: Mason Greenwood, Neal Maupay, Adrien Rabiot
