Overview
- Habib Beye said before Sunday's visit to Monaco that Mason Greenwood is unavailable through injury and suspension, naming Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri as the primary candidate to step in.
- Beye warned that the 19-year-old must adapt to Ligue 1’s speed and physical play, making clear that a start is possible but not guaranteed.
- Nwaneri has yet to start under Beye after Roberto De Zerbi’s exit, with recent minutes limited to cameos despite a goal on his OM debut and strikes for England Under-21s during the international break.
- He also scored after replacing Greenwood against Lille, though Beye said several parts of his game still need to be stronger.
- The loan has no option to buy, and L’Équipe reports Marseille are covering roughly €300,000 a month in wages, a cost that heightens scrutiny as OM chase a top-three league finish.
