Timothy Weah
OM
Back in training for preseason
Weah has returned to training with Marseille, the club announced.
Analysis: Weah played just 76 minutes across the World Cup with the United States without registering a goal or an assist. His return is a welcome sight for Marseille after contributing two goals and two assists across 29 Ligue 1 appearances last season, underlining his standing as an important piece of the squad from right back or right wing back. Weah is expected to build up his fitness gradually as preseason continues.
Quiet outing in loss
Weah took zero shots and created zero chances in 58 minutes of action in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Turkiye.
Analysis: Weah was dangerous going forward, but was unable to find the decisive moment to get involved on the attacking end. His pace and willingness to run at defenders gave Turkiye problems, but his influence faded in the final third, where the U.S. needed more precision. He will likely return to a reserve role in Wednesday's Round of 32 clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Trains in full this week
Weah (undisclosed) has returned to full training this week and should be an option for Sunday's season finale against Rennes, the club posted.
Analysis: Weah had been ruled out of last weekend's clash against Le Havre with an undisclosed issue, but his swift return to collective sessions is an encouraging development ahead of the final fixture of the season. The American wing-back should push to regain his starting role against Rennes, with Tochukwu Nnadi having covered in his absence. Getting Weah back in the fold also keeps his fitness on track ahead of the World Cup with the United States this summer.
Misses training, doubtful Sunday
Weah (undisclosed) did not train with the team Friday and is a doubt for Sunday's clash against Le Havre, according to La Minute OM.
Analysis: Weah wasn't spotted in team training Friday and no details have been provided on the nature of the issue. Marseille will assess him over the coming days before making a final call on his availability for Sunday's fixture against the Ciel & Marine. Weah's potential absence would be another blow for coach Habib Beye's squad heading into the final fixtures of the season, but no risks will be taken with the wing-back due to the World Cup looming in just one month. Tochukwu Nnadi could start in his role again if he misses the clash.
Available again
Weah has completed his one-game ban and is cleared to play in upcoming matches.
Analysis: Weah was active on the right flank prior to his suspension, so he could be selected over Hamed Traore in the next few weeks. Despite failing to score or assist over his last 13 league appearances, the versatile midfielder has served as a source of shots and crosses when given the chance to attack.
Set to miss Nantes match
Weah is set to be suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in French competitions, the league announced.
Analysis: Weah picked up his fifth yellow card in French competitions and is now suspended for the match against Nantes on May 2. The American has been a regular starter in the back line and his absence guarantees a shake-up in the starting XI, with Hamed Traore likely holding the role until he returns.
