Marseille Bench Mason Greenwood on Injury Precaution as Reports Raise Locker-Room Tensions

Marseille chase a top-four place with little margin for error.

Overview

  • Habib Beye left Greenwood out of the starting lineup for fitness reasons and then brought him on late in a 1-1 draw with Nice on Sunday.
  • The coach said the forward has a thigh injury from the Lille match and had played the last two games in pain, so staff chose not to risk him from the start.
  • Foot Mercato reported training frictions with Beye this week, and RMC Sport said some teammates questioned Greenwood’s defensive work and individualism, though these claims are unverified.
  • Greenwood remains Marseille’s leading scorer this season, yet reporting notes a dip since Roberto De Zerbi departed, with only three goals in that span.
  • Marseille sit sixth on 53 points, four behind Lyon and Lille for Champions League places, with Nantes, Le Havre and Rennes next on the schedule.
