Eyeing return for PSG clash
Nnadi (knee) is already eyeing a return for the Sept. 20 match against PSG at the Velodrome, despite the seriousness of his knee injury, according to FC Marseille.
Analysis: Nnadi has chosen not to undergo surgery despite doctors' advice, opting instead for a riskier recovery protocol in hopes of returning sooner, though other projections suggest his comeback may not come until after the international break. His extended absence could still limit Marseille's options to relieve Himad Abdelli and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in holding midfield, having been used exclusively off the bench so far this season.
Opts for riskier recovery protocol
Nnadi was supposed to undergo surgery and miss several months of action, but the Nigerian midfielder is opting to follow a riskier protocol in hopes of returning earlier, with the injury potentially a torn ACL, according to La Provence, per Massilia Zone.
Analysis: Nnadi had been forced off after coming on as a substitute in the recent loss to Monaco, with coach Bruno Genesio saying at the time he felt a twisting sensation in his knee. His decision to pursue a faster but riskier path back means his extended absence could still limit Marseille's options to relieve Himad Abdelli and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in holding midfield, having been used exclusively off the bench so far this season.
