An absence that comes at a bad time

This injury comes as OM is already going through a sporting crisis, reports Onze Mondial. The Marseille club is set to face a difficult month, according to Foot Mercato. The same outlet stresses that the coach will have to deal with a squad reduced by injuries, without however naming him.

A busy schedule ahead

The Marseille club will therefore have to do without its Danish international for the upcoming fixtures. The three sources agree that this absence constitutes another blow for the team. Maxifoot mentions a minimum duration of two weeks, while the other outlets do not specify an exact timeframe. Foot Mercato mentions a "month of all dangers" for OM, without further details on the upcoming fixtures.
