Dealing with thigh pain

Hojbjerg suffered a muscle issue in the back of his thigh that caused his exit from Sunday's Nations League match against Wales, per Le Phoceen.

Analysis: This offers an initial diagnosis after Hojbjerg's early substitution Sunday, though the exact severity and possible recovery timeline remain unclear for the midfielder. His status likely will depend on the results of further evaluation, but he could miss upcoming Ligue 1 clashes given the muscular nature of the problem. Such issue would disrupt a Marseille midfield that has relied heavily on his contribution throughout the early stages of the campaign. Himad Abdelli (ankle) and Angel Gomes could form a central pairing in Hojbjerg's absence, with Tochukwu Nnadi adding a depth option.

Exits match with Denmark

Hojbjerg was forced off the field in the 10th minute of Sunday's Nations League Group Stage match against Wales due to an apparent injury.

Analysis: Hojbjerg is adding to Marseille's injury problems over the international break, as the midfielder suffered an injury just a few minutes into Sunday's outing. It appeared the midfielder was complaining about a muscular injury, a worrying sign for a midfielder, as anything somewhat serious would likely knock him out for a few weeks. He will now await pending testing for a further explanation of the injury as Marseille holds its breath, potentially losing a fourth midfielder due to injury.
