The Africa Cup is disputed between January 13 and February 11, 2024. A situation that affects many teams and especially in Gennaro Gattuso’s Olympique de Marseille. The French will be without a total of eight players this season.

A situation that worried the Italian coach who immediately asked for reinforcements so as not to affect the team’s performance too much. ”The president is aware of the situation. If players are coming, it is very important that they have the quality to strengthen the squad. They know what kind of players I want to be around.”

Mbemba- Congo

Gueye- Senegal

Ndiaye- Senegal

Sarr- Senegal

Harit- Morocco

Ounahi- Morocco

Ngapandouetnbu- Cameroon

Mughe-Cameroon

The case of every footballer is different, because Gueye and Mughe They have almost no prominence, so it won’t affect Gattuso’s plans too much. The same thing happens with Ngapandouetnbua goalkeeper called up for a few games but hasn’t even made his debut.

Very difficult to replace is the loss of Mbemba, Ounahi and Ndiaye. One is the head of the defense, the one who brings order to the defense. Another is the head of the engine room and the last, the partner of Aubameyang In front. Three irreplaceable players today.
