Marseille’s injury concerns deepen as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg comes off in Denmark game

Olympique de Marseille faces mounting injury concerns, with the addition of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg being forced off early in a recent Denmark game. This latest setback adds to a series of injuries Marseille has faced in recent international fixtures.

In addition to Hojbjerg, who suffered a thigh injury after just ten minutes of play, Derek Cornelius, Amine Gouiri, and Himad Abdellli have also been injured. However, none of these players are expected to miss the upcoming game against ESTAC Troyes next weekend.

Hojbjerg's absence is particularly significant for the team, as they currently lack midfield options. While there is some optimism that Tochukwu Nnadi may be fit to return next weekend, Geoffrey Kondogbia remains sidelined.

With a potentially inexperienced and young pivot set to start against L'ESTAC, the severity of Hojbjerg's injury will be crucial in determining the exact lineup.
