Pierre-Émile Hojbjerg could return against Angers after a thigh injury
The Marseille midfielder trained with the group and may be back on Sunday at 15:00 for Ligue 1 matchday 7 vs Angers.
Pierre-Émile Hojbjerg of Marseille picked up a thigh injury (tear) with Denmark during the international break, and his return is still uncertain for Sunday’s trip to Angers (15:00) in Ligue 1 matchday 7.
As RMC Sport reports, OM coach Bruno Génésio said earlier this week that his recovery was going well and that the timetable had him returning the following week. Still, after working individually on Friday, Hojbjerg trained with the group on Saturday, which could point to a return this weekend.
"Pierre did individual work yesterday (Friday). We’ll see after the session whether it’s possible for him to be in the squad," Génésio said in his press conference. He also noted that all the other players are available. Marseille are coming off a 0-2 win at Troyes last Sunday, following a 0-2 defeat by Olympiacos in the Europa League on Thursday.
