OM: Excellent news for Morocco!
OM: Morocco celebrates after this announcement!
Fresh off their thrilling comeback win over Newcastle in the Champions League, Olympique de Marseille returns to Ligue 1 with a clear ambition to keep the momentum going. On Saturday night at the Vélodrome, Roberto De Zerbi’s men take on Toulouse, with a golden chance to put pressure on PSG. And for this crucial encounter, OM receives a major boost: Nayef Aguerd is back in the squad just weeks after suffering a groin injury against Brest.
The Marseille coach had announced it on Friday:
“Aguerd should be back and that’s it, but it’s already great news. I told the staff to keep an eye on the players who are logging a lot of minutes.”
Promise kept, as the 29-year-old defender is indeed included in the squad revealed on Saturday morning. His presence is a valuable asset for an OM side chasing a fourth straight win across all competitions.

While Darryl Bakola does not retain his spot in the squad despite his Champions League involvement, Aguerd brings defensive stability that Marseille will need to keep their winning streak alive. In a Vélodrome eager for confirmation, his return could not come at a better time.
