Genesio warns: Marseille will rotate at Beşiktaş in Europa
Bruno Genesio confirmed he’ll rotate the Marseille squad for the trip to Beşiktaş, balancing chances and planning for Sunday’s PSG clash.
Beşiktaş host Marseille this Thursday night for the first matchday of the Europa League group stage, and Marseille’s coach Bruno Genesio has already signalled that it won’t be the usual starting XI.
As reported by RMC Sport, Genesio confirmed he expects turnover for the game in Turkey. The stated goal is to give some players “an opportunity”, while also managing the team ahead of what’s next.
Rotations, two priorities
The second reason is the schedule: the coach pointed to Sunday’s Clásico against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. In other words, the Europa League fixture is also being used as a workload-management step rather than purely a “must-win with the same team” scenario.
For the match, that raises the obvious question for fans and bettors: who will start in the rotated XI and how the reshuffled side holds up against a tough Beşiktaş environment.
RMC Sport frames Genesio’s approach as clear planning—minutes for some, and preparation for the big domestic showdown right after.
