Jonathan Clauss had hoped to enjoy the France friendly against Chile, especially with his home crowd cheering him on. However, his excitement turned to disappointment when he suffered a hamstring injury just 11 minutes into the game. This injury means he will miss Marseille’s important match against PSG this weekend.
Clauss, who plays for Marseille, had to leave the field due to the injury, forcing him to watch his team’s victory from the sidelines. His absence comes at a critical time for Marseille, with important games against Lille and Benfica in the Europa League following the PSG clash.
Marseille was already dealing with several injuries before the PSG game, making the situation even more challenging.
The match between Marseille and PSG, known as “Le Classique,” has a long-standing rivalry that dates back to the 1990s. While PSG has dominated recent encounters, Marseille still holds strong passion for the game.
Clauss joins a growing list of injured Marseille players, particularly in defense. This poses a significant challenge for interim coach Jean-Louis Gasset as he prepares to face PSG’s formidable attacking lineup, led by Kylian Mbappe.
Despite Marseille trailing PSG by a considerable margin in the league standings, they still have a chance to qualify for the Champions League next season. On the other hand, PSG looks set to secure yet another league title, with a comfortable lead at the top of the table.
